Kilkenny Tower To Get Facelift
Kilkenny Borough Council has announced plans to carry out work at Talbot's Tower in the city.
The building, located on Ormonde Road and Lower New Street, and the adjoining Town Walls are protected under the National Monuments Act 1930-2004.
The tower is listed in the Kilkenny City Development Plan and Environs 2002 as a Protected Structure and is within the Patrick's street Designated Architectural Conservation Area.
Works will include the re-building of the stairs to the top of the tower, conservation works to both structures and the re-configuration of the site area, including all associated site works.
Plans of the proposed developments are available for inspection at the Planning Offices of Kilkenny Borough Council.
A council spokesman said consultation on the development will close later this month.
