    Pipers and actors on horseback will lead the march through Enniscorthy -- while pikemen are set to join re-enactors from all over Ireland on Vinegar Hill in Co Wexford.
    Three canons will launch an assault on the landmark hill during the first ever re-enactment of 1798, which will be held this Sunday.
    The group will split into their sides at the old bridge, the rebels continuing up Shannon Hill, while the redcoats will proceed along the Oulart Road. They will meet on the battlefield under Vinegar Hill."
