President Kennedy arrives at the Dunganstown farm his great-grandfather came from.
President Kennedy arrives at the Dunganstown farm his great-grandfather Patrick came from, several miles from New Ross in Co. Wexford. He is greeted by a large crowd, including his relative Mary Ryan, who now lives on the farm, and her daughters. Pádraig Ó Raghallaigh comments in his voiceover on the mixture of formality and simplicity in the occasion as the president walks around the farmyard, meeting relations and local farmers.
Final touches are put to the tables of cakes and sandwiches laid outside for the tea party, "no doubt the largest tea party that Dunganstown has ever seen".
