In the last number of years. The town of New Ross has gone through a complete transformation. With the opening of the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge, the town is now free of traffic becoming a place where families can wander through vibrant, colourful streets. A destination for holiday makers to experience the rugged Irish landscape along the coast of the district, the town is a leading example for the development of public realm spaces. New Ross has capitalised on it extremely rich history, preserving the charm of the town.
