−	'''Wexford''' ([[Irish Language\|Irish]]: ''Loch Garman'') is a port town in south-east [[Ireland]], located in [[County Wexford]], and situated on the estuary of the River Slaney where it flows into the [[Irish Sea]]. It was founded by the [[Vikings]] c. 800, and its name derives from the [[Old Norse]] for 'inlet with mud flats'. Wexford was a major centre of the 1798 rising against [[British]] rule in Ireland. The town is renowned for its annual [[Opera]] Festival, established in 1951.	+	Page corrected by Anon
