Charity event for Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy bridge sells out in South Kilkenny

Charity event for Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy bridge sells out in South Kilkenny

The bridge under construction in August 2019

A one-off opportunity to walk the wonderful new Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge in New Ross before it opens for traffic has sold out.
Because of the huge demand for tickets for the charity fundraisers organisers are considering holding another event.
Director of Services at Kilkenny County Council, Tim Butler said that the organisers were ‘looking at ways at having something the day before or earlier that day’.
