A pleasing feature of the Gaelic Re-
vival in Wexford (started five years
ago) is the number of Irish signboards
in Enniscorthy. Just at present, a
further evidence OF the desire for a
bilingual education in the schools is
shown by the erection of bilingual
nsme-plates in every street and
square of the town, an achievement
due to the public spirit of the Urban
Council. Those who will attend the
forthcoming ceremony at the laying Of
the foundation stone of the '98 Monu-
ment, in the Market-square, will have
an opportunity of seeing the exquis-
ltely designed bilingual municipalities
which have been erected, the Irish
lettering being remarkably we'll done
ny local artist. It is an instructive
commentary on English rule in Ire
land that the beautiful Franciscan
Friary and the romantically situated
Priory of st. Johns, Enniscorthy, are
now only known by their survival in
the place-names, Abbeysquare and St..
Johns.
