A lane that has been used as a short cut by school-goers and locals in the centre of Graignamanagh is to be formally made a public road by Kilkenny County Council.
Duiske Lane, between Mill Street and High Street, has been used for many years but recently representations were made to make it a public road, Area Engineer Declan Murphy has told local councillors.
The 58 metre lane is “a vital piece of infrastructure in Graignamanagh,” Cllr Peter Cleere said. However, he said, in recent years the lane has declined and has become a bit of a health and safety issue.
New plaque to be erected on Nicholas Mullins Bridge in Thomastown
To commemorate 100th anniversary since Nicholas was shot

Local councillor Peter ‘Chap’ Cleere recently called on Kilkenny County Council to arrange for a permanent plaque to be erected on Thomastown’s main bridge crossing the Nore.
In 2015, the Municipal District of Kilkenny unanimously agreed to the naming of Thomastown’s famous bridge after local man Nicholas Mullins, and for the bridge to be named ‘The Nicholas Mullins Bridge’. Nicholas Mullins was shot by the British Forces in 1921.
A temporary plaque was subsequently erected. However, Cllr Cleere has confirmed to the Kilkenny People that following on from his representations, a more permanent plaque will be erected in June of this year to commemorate the 100th anniversary since Nicholas was shot.
