ABOUT THE EMIGRANT FLAME
The Emigrant Flame was unveiled on the New Ross quayside in June 2013 during the JFK50 celebrations. A light was taken from the eternal flame at President Kennedy’s graveside in Arlington Cemetery, Virginia and travelled across the Atlantic as a Gathering Torch. This was then used to ignite The Emigrant Flame by President Kennedy’s daughter Caroline Kennedy and his sister Jean Kennedy Smith. The Kennedy legacy is just one inspiring story of triumph overcoming adversity which saw a family rise from Irish famine emigrant to the Presidency of the United States in only three generations. The journey of the Gathering Torch from President Kennedy’s graveside to New Ross also fulfilled on a symbolic level his promise “to return to Ireland in the springtime”. The Emigrant Flame provides a permanent flame of hope and inspiration to all Irish emigrants.
