Butterflies in Kilkenny

The red admiral butterfly is very particular  about the flower it visits! A sunny afternoon in early September on Circular road there are some very popular flowers that get more than their fair share of butterfly attention.

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

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”.
