The Town Hall 'looks like a brothel' Kilkenny councillor claims

The Town Hall in Kilkenny

Local Green Party councillor, Maria Dollard has told a meeting of the Kilkenny City Municipal District that the Town Hall 'looks like a brothel', criticising the lighting at the landmark city location.

Cllr Dollard asked if council officials could look into the matter, to which Stan Cullen, Area Engineer replied, he would take the feedback on board. 

Director of Services with Kilkenny County Council, Tim Butler, also replied, noting that the issue may be the colour of the lighting rather than the standard of lighting itself.

"It takes away from the city scape," the former Mayor of Kilkenny remarked.
