Mayo r David Fitzgerald on the Abbey Quarter site
The Mayor of Kilkenny is calling on the people of Kilkenny to get behind a bid for a National Arts and Cultural Centre to be developed in the heart of the city.
Mayor David Fitzgerald says he wants to see a major landmark building to be part of the next phase of the Kilkenny Abbey Quarter development.
The mayor says he wants to encourage the people of Kilkenny to support his campaign for a landmark arts and cultural centre by the banks of the Nore.
“This is an opportunity of a generation for Kilkenny to deliver and to develop a major National Arts and Cultural Centre here on the banks of the River Nore,” he said.
“Over 10 years ago, in my previous term as mayor, we bought site the old brewery. The people of Kilkenny came to me and said they want a landmark building in the Abbey Quarter.
“This is our opportunity and we should lobby, work and support the delivery of a new theatre, a new arts centre, a new performance base, a new gallery. This is an opportunity to lead a legacy for generations to come.”
