    As a result of the fact that many Vikings and Normans settled in Wexford,
    do you notice a difference in appearance of Wexford people and people from counties where not many Vikings and Normans settled?

    Are you refering to the pink shirt tribe now to be seen in Dublin fighting with the shatter tribe!

    Certainly our politicians have no problem operating the slash and burn policies of those invaders, when dealing with the natives. it should be remembered that the Vikings and the Normans were essentially the same race, a bit like the Scots and the Irish.
