Kennedy clan gather at ancestral home in Wexford

Dozens of descendants from the world’s most famous political dynasty gathered today at a farmhouse in Ireland to mark the day John F Kennedy came back to his ancestral home.

Fifty years on from that visit – reputed to be among the US President’s happiest memories – his great-grandfather Patrick’s homestead in Dunganstown, Co Wexford, has been transformed into a €1.5m museum.
