Declan Rice, CEO of the Kilkenny Leader Partnership told KCLR News what people can expect from the workshops:

“We will talk you through the Piltown story, what is possible and how it can be done. And then if that works out we’re planning to have a seminar morning and early afternoon on the 19 November in Piltown to see exactly what they’ve done”
