The birthplace of Patrick Kennedy, great-grandfather of John F Kennedy, is a farm that still looks much as it must have 160 years ago. When JFK visited the farm in 1963 and hugged the current owner's grandmother, it was his first public display of affection, according to his sister Jean. A small museum examines the Kennedy dynasty's history on both sides of the Atlantic. It's on a minor 7km south of New Ross, signposted from R733.
