Kilkenny remembers soldiers who lost their lives on duty
The event took place on the grounds of Kilkenny Castle last weekend
Last Sunday, local dignitaries, army veterans and members of the public came together to remember those who lost their lives in past wars and while serving on United Nations peacekeeping missions.
The ceremony provided an opportunity to remember and honour the Irish men and women who lost their lives, and those who died while serving on United Nations peacekeeping missions.
“Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday at Kilkenny Castle for the Regional Ceremony marking National Commemoration Day 2026,” a local authority spokesperson said.
“Kilkenny County Council would like to extend its sincere thanks to all who attended and contributed to the dignity and success of the event.
“Your presence helped ensure that the sacrifice and service of those commemorated will not be forgotten.”
