New Ross, County Wexford, is to be linked with a town in California where playwright Eugene O’Neill lived.
O’Neill’s Tao House in Danville, California, near the San Francisco Bay, is preserved as a historic site. New Ross district manager Sinéad Casey said that in recognition of the great American playwright’s New Ross heritage, a proposal is in place to formally link the two cities as Friendship Towns.
“This initiative is coming from Wexford County Council’s Arts department. The plan is only in paper but we want to bring the Friendship initiative to New Ross rather than let it go anywhere else. There won’t be any cost implications for the district,” Casey said.
