Friendship, fellowship and a night at the opera! 🎶✨🎭

Wexford Rotarians and friends of Rotary joined members from Waterford and Gorey Rotary Clubs for a beautiful meal at La Vista in the National Opera House, followed by a wonderful performance of Iris dress rehearsal.

Thank you to our Vice President Jimmy Gahan for his warm welcome, and to Maree Lyng, Gina Arcari and John Barber for organising such a lovely evening. 👏

We’re proud to have the National Opera House as a corporate member of our club, and wish Suzanne Nance , Rosetta Cucchi and all the team at Wexford Festival Opera every success for its 75th anniversary! 🎉

The creativity, friendships and energy the festival brings to our beautiful town are something special. If you’ve never been, give it a try-there’s so much more to opera than you might imagine! 🎭

Best of luck to our Rotarian Paula Malone Carty on her trip to Bungoma on the Bungoma Outreach project lead by another of our wonderful Wexford Rotarians Rosie Keary. 🌟👏

Our Bungoma Outreach Project empowers communities in Bungoma, Kenya, by providing safe housing for young mothers, renovating schools, expanding access to clean water, and supporting other sustainable initiatives.

But none of this would be possible without our incredible . 💜💛

Meet Paula Malone Carty.

Paula is married to Tony and is a very proud mum to her four children, Rían, Caitlín, Muirinn and Éabha. They are a wonderfully musical family, with involvement in Wexford Light Opera Society, Oyster Lane Theatre Group and Bride Street Folk Group.

Paula works as a professional photographer and photography educator based in Wexford. Passionate about people, creativity and community, her work has given her the opportunity to connect with and tell the stories of people from all walks of life.

Paula is delighted to be joining the Bungoma Outreach Project in 2027, where she hopes to contribute her time, energy and skills while working alongside fellow volunteers and local community partners.

She is particularly looking forward to experiencing a new culture, building meaningful connections and playing her part in projects that aim to create lasting, positive change for children, young mothers and the wider community.

We are delighted to have Paula on board, bringing her creativity, kindness, and community spirit to Bungoma. 💜💛

🎉 A new Rotary year begins! 🎉

Congratulations to our new President, Dara O’Leary, and our Vice President, Jimmy Gahan, as they begin leading Rotary Wexford for the 2026–2027 Rotary year.

Yesterday, the President’s Chain of Office was officially handed over from Eric McClintock to Dara O’Leary, marking the beginning of a new chapter for our club.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening celebrating at Riverbank with a BBQ, great company, and plenty of laughter alongside our fellow Rotarians. It was a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the year gone by and look ahead to another year of service, friendship, and making a positive difference in our community.

We were also delighted to welcome Eddie Taaffe, Chief Executive of Wexford County Council, who joined us to celebrate this special occasion.

Thank you to Eric for his leadership and commitment over the past year, and wishing Dara, Jimmy, and the entire leadership team every success for the year ahead. Here’s to another year of making a positive impact together. 💜💛

A proud day for the Rotary Club of Wexford. 💜💛

On Saturday, we welcomed Verona Murphy, Ceann Comhairle and the first woman—and first person from Wexford—to hold this office, as an Honorary Member of our club.

Verona’s journey from the factory floor to the Chair of Dáil Éireann is an inspiring story of leadership, determination, and service.

We were delighted to celebrate this special occasion alongside Rotarians from across Ireland, District Governor Michael Fleming, District Governor Elect George Roche , family, friends, and guests.

We also recognised and thanked Assistant District Governor Calodagh McCumiskey for her dedicated service to Zone 4 and District 1160 over the past three years.

A memorable day of friendship, recognition, and Service Above Self.

Céad Míle Fáilte, Verona. 🇮🇪
