Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Peter Burke, T.D., in a short visit to Kilkenny City yesterday met a number of business people, traders and shoppers. 
He visited the pop-up shop “Made in Kilkenny” which showcases the works of craft producers in County Kilkenny.  This was followed by a short visit to the weekly farmers markets on the Parade.
The Minister was very complimentary on the changes made in Rose Inn Street and High Street with the introduction of one-way system giving pedestrians and shoppers more space as they move about in the City.  As it was Christmas he made a special visit to the Christmas Experience in the grounds of the Medieval Mile Museum to ensure that Santa was busy getting all those presents ready for all the children.   The Minister made a short visit to Kieran Street and into the Market Yard to see the additional outdoor seating provided during Covid to facilitate outdoor dining/takeaways.  Before he departed he got a view of the developments in the Abbey Quarter from the Lady Desart Bridge and also the beautiful renovated Evans Home which is now home to the Butler Gallery.  Unfortunately, time did not allow for him to visit the Gallery and Wolkwalkers exhibition.
