Bin it Your Way “moves” up a gear against gum litter.

Posted on by

Kilkenny City Mayor  Sean O’hArgain joined with Members of the KKB to highlight and to also  increase the level of awareness of gum litter and its responsible disposal. The attractive Court House plaza provided the backdrop to the event which took place during the Kilkenny Arts Festival.   The Gum Litter Taskforce  Eco cabs were in Kilkenny to circulate the campaign message with the theme “Bin it your way”.

City Court house quarter development reaches completion

Posted on by

Kilkenny City authorities and the OPW are to be complemented on  the major renovation works undertaken  at Kilkenny courthouse located on Parliament st Kilkenny.  A New public space has been completed in the city core as part of the works diagonally opposite  the historic Rothe house. The building was originally the  13th-century Grace’s Castle, which was given to city in 1568.  It  then  became the County Gaol,  continuing  to serve as a  gaol until the 18th century, when it was converted to  courthouse use. This use continues up to the present day.
