The comments were made at February's meeting of the Kilkenny City Municipal District

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.

Meanwhile, Fine Gael councillor, David FitzGerald, told council officials he had 'misgivings' over the visual appearance of the Lady Desert Bridge, upon view from Green's Bridge and John's Bridge. 

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