Kilkenny County Council’s Climate Action team have recorded a short video with the Iverk Agricultural Show, showcasing their success in energy efficiency and water conservation. The Iverk Show are one of 22 groups who received grant funding to undertake local climate actions under the Community Climate Action Fund Phase 1.
They were awarded €20,000 to install energy efficient heating and lighting in the building which accommodates Littlestars Pre-school Piltown. They also installed a 20,000-litre rainwater harvesting tank which will be used for animal care and grey water for toilets on show day (Saturday, August 23, 2025).
The tank will also benefit the adjacent GAA club as the toilets on site are shared by the show grounds and the GAA club. This will greatly reduce the reliance on mains water in the future.
