of St. Mary’s Church on 23rd Jan to a packed capacity crowd
which included most of the hundred voluntary embroiderers working
on the remaining eleven panels. This lively colourful panel portrays
New Ross as a bustling European Port with Bankers ,Wine Merchants
and all manner of Traders negotiating and going about their business.
This unveiling was the culmination of three years of sheer dedication
and commitment by the hard-working team of women at Clonroche, Co
Wexford. We are extremely grateful for their achievement. |
