I'm from kilkenny myself, but I don't come home too often as its a drive of about 160 miles.

But I've noticed myself that the city is getting rougher, and dirtier (broken pint glasses, litter, flower pots being overturned etc). Just last night i was out and I saw a fight, a girl tried to break it up and got punched! :eek:

I also noticed there are very few gardai around.

Anyway I was shown the letter to the editor of the kilkenny people a few weeks ago, in which an American tourist said he would never return and discourage people from visiting. Anyone have an opinion on this?

Describes any city/town in Ireland nowadays tbh.
Been a few times to Kilkenny and really enjoyed it.

Are the dirty drunks from Kilkenny though, I think you'll find alot of them are from Dublin or other places.

Another one of the large flower pots was turned over again last night. Theres a mound of soil and flowers on the path outside the Arcade :rolleyes:

And you can backup that statement with what evidence Lump. No locals get drunk and cause trouble its all down to the DUBS and others.. , I afraid you would want to get out more and visit any local town in this country on a weekend and see what hits the street when the pubs close.

I have no evidence. Darn it!
