Kilkenny is in the running to retain its crown as Failte Ireland Tourism Town of the year.
It’s been nominated in the shortlist for this years award but there’s a little twist as this year’s entries are being split up into two catagories: best Large town and best small town.
Kilkenny is up against; Killarney, Cobh, Westport, Trim, and Ennis.
All of the towns involved will be visited by a team of assessors who will judge the visitor experience.
