NEVER-before-seen footage of US President John F Kennedy during a visit to Ireland in the 1960s is to be shown in public for the first time next month.
The 20-minute colour clips will be screened in New Ross, Co Wexford on September 2 as part of the annual Kennedy Summer School.
The footage was captured by Peggy Walsh (98), then a keen amateur filmmaker, and shows the late president's visit to his ancestral home in June 1963.
