Eamonn has worked with Wexford County Council from 1982 to date as an Assistant Engineer, Executive Engineer, Senior Executive Engineer, Senior Engineer and now as Deputy Chief Executive. Eamonn has been involved with the Kennedy Summer School since its inception in 2012, the year before the great JFK50 celebrations in New Ross.
Eamonn also led the team that brought the Eternal Flame from President John F Kennedy’s graveside in Arlington to New Ross, where it now burns in perpetuity as the Emigrant Flame. He coordinated the flame’s transfer by land, air, and sea to the quayside in New Ross.
He also collaborated closely with Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith in the discussions leading to the naming of the iconic Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge, Irelands longest bridge, which crosses the River Barrow less than one mile from the gate to the Kennedy Homestead.
Eamonn has long admired the public service values and commitment of the Kennedy Family over many years and generations.
Eamonn has a keen interest in history and all things Wexford and New Ross.
