The success of the Kilkenny Gift Card, resilience, progress and impactful engagement with the business community were the key points of a bright 2024 as Kilkenny Chamber held their annual meeting recently.
The launch of the gift card, a prepaid credit card designed to keep consumer spending within the local economy, saw an €80,000 spend secured for the city and county across the end of 2024 and into 2025.

In December alone, €35,000 was spent using the gift card in over 120 outlets in Kilkenny, €25,000 in January, and €20,000 redeemed in Co Kilkenny in February. These outlets include cafés, restaurants, retail shops, hotels, pubs and more across the city and county.
"Throughout the year, the Chamber has remained committed to its mission: to represent, support, and champion our members," said Chamber President Anne Barber, paying tribute to the hard work the Chamber has undertaken over the past year.
"Our focus has remained steadfast - to create an environment where businesses can grow and flourish," she added.
