If anyone is visiting wexford there is an information centre based in the Wexford Wild life reserve on the North Slob (The reclaimed land of the North Wexford Harbour in 1840'S) which is free and has a punt gun which best resembles a small cannon . The long barrel gun of the Shelmalier men of 98 were more than likely long barreled muskets as a shelmalier sniper shot the British commanding officer who had gone to observe the Rebel encampment before the battle of the Three Rocks on Forth Mountain,
Entry to the Wexford wild life reserve is free and it is also an Irish Hare reserve and well worth a visit. Follow the Gorey Road over Wexford bridge and there is a turn to the left before Grannel motors ,
If you visit during the winter you will get to see huge flocks of Greenland Geese on the reserve or sobs as they gather at dusk.

The Shelmalier area was a hot bed of the rebellion in 1798
