Sean Moncrieff discusses the finding of this amazing footage with Willie Keilthy, Chair of the Kennedy Summer School and Ann Larkin, Daughter of the filmmaker Peggy Walsh. In 2019, a statue of former US President John Fitzgerald-Kennedy has been unveiled in his ancestral home in Co Limerick. It was unveiled by vice-president of the European Parliament Mairead McGuinness in Bruff. The statue, which shows Mr Kennedy holding a bible, was created by artist Seamus Connolly from Co Clare. When he took the oath of office on January 20th 1961, he did so with his hand placed on a thick brown leather bible with a gold cross. This bible was brought by his Fitzgerald ancestors in Bruff to the United States in 1848. Ms McGuinness said: "Our heritage is central to who we are as a people. And the Fitzgerald Kennedy story is a very proud one". "The Fitzgerald-Kennedy story is an inspiring one, a story of triumph of hard work and ambition, one of that gives hope to many and indeed has much resonance for immigrants today." A JFK monument was previously unveiled in New Ross, Co Wexford to mark the 50th anniversary of his death in 2013.
