Tomorrow.

The new Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy bridge over the River Barrow between Glenmore in Co Kilkenny and New Ross, Co Wexford, will be officially opened.

It is now Ireland’s longest bridge at 887m.

They’ve built the bridge and gone over it! First people cross Ireland’s longest bridge in South Kilkenny (KCLR)

This afternoon.

At the Kennedy Summer School in New Ross, Co Wexford.

EU Commissioner and former Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan delivered a speech touching on the topics of Brexit, populism in the EU, America and US President Donald Trump.

He concluded by quoting the late former US president John F Kennedy, saying:

“Courage — not complacency — is our need today. Leadership — not salesmanship. And the only valid test of leadership is the ability to lead, and lead vigorously.”

Good times.
