Kilkenny County Council has granted planning permission to The Board of Management CBS Kilkenny Secondary School for the development of an Artificial Grass Playing Surface with Surround Fencing, Floodlighting and Ball Stop Netting, together with all associated site development and ancillary works at CBS Kilkenny on the Dunningstown Road and Lousybush Lane (L-10075 local road).
