Ros Tapestry exhibition reopens to public
The Ros Tapestry now sits in The Waterfront, The Quay, New Ross, opposite the Dunbrody, which is more than just an intricate story told in thread, it is the living history of the town and the surrounding counties, capturing the arrival of the Normans to Ireland's Ancient East. This monumental work, crafted by 180 dedicated volunteer stitchers over twenty-five years, is a testament to shared heritage. Like the Bayeux Tapestry, the masterpiece is embroidered on linen with wool, preserving history through the same materials that have endured through the ages. A GoFundMe has been created to raise funds for such exhibitions and preservation of the delicate items, and a target of €10,000 has been set for those involved in the tapestry to continue their work. 'These stitchers have left a legacy that will last for generations, just as the Normans did centuries ago. We hope this Tapestry continues to inspire and educate long after the grandchildren of the original stitchers have grandchildren of their own,' said Mary Lou O'Kennedy, the organiser of the GoFundMe. Commenting on the return of the Ros Tapestry to the town, Marguerite Ahearne said: 'We are so grateful to our friends, sponsors and supporters who helped us make this happen.' The GoFundMe remains open for donations, while the exhibition currently operates on limited opening hours, from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission fees apply.
