There’s been a marked increase in the number of applications for festival and events funding in Kilkenny this year.
111 different groups will be getting a cut of €110,000 – up from 76 last year.
The funding was agreed at yesterday’s monthly meeting of the county council.
Councillor Joe Malone says there’s a good mix of small and bigger projects getting a slice of the funding which ranges from €250 to €5,000.
