Graffiti on Carlow Castle

Irish Guitarist

I saw this recently. Some moron has written 'CHIKO', what appears to be 'IRA' and something indecipherable on Carlow Castle. It's bad enough that there's broken glass all over the grounds of the castle from scumbags drinking at night but this makes me sick.

What pisses me off more than the scumbags that do this is how they're just let get away with it.

Honestly I don't get some of the people around here. It's like they want to make the town as much of a shithole as possible.

I'm surprised the planners didn't tear it down to be honest.

They've managed to allow every other monstrosity of a so called building be built on and around it. :mad:

If you want to blame anyone for making ****e of the town contact here secretar@carlowcoco.ie

Hear hear, missed opportunity, some very uninspiring buildings went up on the redeveloped site. Have to say it is consistent with my view of developer- led projects in Carlow that are generally uninspiring, incongruous, lack vision and in some cases eyesores.... Carlow seems to accept second rate on all levels

IMO i don't know why Carlow coco have hidden such a wonderful structure away. GET RID of the houses in front make it more open and enjoyable. why be afraid of the building?

Tony I couldent agree more - id cpo that whole side of kennedy street(which is very run down) and build a lovely enclosed park/ public space around the castle down to the burrin and barrow. We are sort of stuck with that empty office block now:rolleyes:.

Also you have an attractive bridge there to Graigue with nice lighting- relocate the telegraph polls and plant some flowers there. And cut down all those big trees on that island that block the view to the park.

we have lovely rivers and views and landmark buildings in the town would be great if we focused on that.

A bit off topic but when did Corcoran's Minerals close at the castle?


That was probably the time to do something with the castle or tear it down.

Are you mental? You cannot just go tearing buildings like that down !?!!?
