Castle Yard not part of Medieval Mile

The Craft Council of Ireland was disappointed that the Castle Yard was not included as part of the Medieval Mile project, which highlights important historic features in Kilkenny’s city centre.

The March meeting of Kilkenny Borough Council was preceded by a presentation from representatives of the Crafts Council. They told the members that the gallery and jewellery school is one of the finest in Europe, but as a tourist attraction, is ‘kind of sleeping’ at the moment.
