08-02-2021 11:46am#1Dreadful on so many levels, none moreso than their love affair with all "Cllrs" & politicians.
They must run with every quote sent in to them from these clowns & make a "story" out of them, then again how else are they going to fill 50-odd pages, particularly when they've sat on the fence forever and burrow underground at the slightest whiff of controversy.
Here's a few examples from last weeks paper (which is amazingly very light on McGuinness propaganda).
A local councillor has said Kilkenny is perfectly placed to be a potential location for the headquarters of the new Technological University of the South-East (TUSE).
Cllr Peter ‘Chap’ Cleere, who is the current Kilkenny Carlow ETB chair, says Kilkenny definitely merits consideration for a head office location.
Kilkenny TD Kathleen Funchion has said reports that survivors’ testimonies to the Mother and Baby Homes commission report have been destroyed are ‘very alarming’. 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.
Fine Gael TD, John Paul Phelan, has welcomed investment in two disability service centres in Kilkenny.
Minister of State for Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan and The Green Party have renewed calls for Lá Fhéile Bríde, Brigid’s Day, to be made a public holiday
A North Kilkenny councillor has expressed his frustration at repeated illegal dumping at the bring banks in Urlingford, and fears the facility may be removed if the pattern of offending continues. Such is the extent and frequency of the dumping, the costs to the council are surging. Cllr Michael McCarthy says he is extremely disappointed at the level of dumping taking place at the bring banks.
Luckily for the rest of us the eminent Carthys of The Wetlands seem to manage to fill plenty of column inches (although only fortnightly, on court weeks) and spare us from another "the grant was welcomed by Kilkenny City Councillor David Fitzgerald" type story.
Of course the letters page adds to the overall cringeworthiness and rarely disappoints...
Edited...sorry, can't upload the picture of one of the letters so you're spared that particular hardship!1
