JFK’s death ‘was deeply felt by each of the people of Ireland’
The Irish and American flags flew at half-mast yesterday at the John F Kennedy Memorial Park, a few kilometres from the Co Wexford farm where the late president’s great-grandfather grew up before emigrating in 1848
.
At
one of the many events held throughout the country to mark the 50th
anniversary of Kennedy’s death, the early winter sunshine illuminated
the trees gathered from around the world and showed them at their
colourful best during a wreath-laying ceremony performed by Minister for
Public Expenditure Brendan Howlin and Government chief whip Paul Kehoe, both local TDs.
