Rosbercon

Rosbercon (Irish: Ros Bearrcon)[2] is a village in Ireland, on the opposite side of the River Barrow from New Ross, County Wexford.

The village grew up around the castle and Rosbercon Abbey, a Dominican house founded in 1267 and suppressed in 1539.

[3] The village expanded by nearly 60% between 2002 and 2006,[4] with between 34 and 46 percent of its population being immigrants, chiefly from Poland and other Eastern European countries.

Although the easternmost part of the parish is now within the New Ross urban district, many of the residents identify with County Kilkenny, particularly in sporting matters.
