While you were sleeping ...

December 03, 2017 0 Comments
As dawn was breaking this morning a group of KCA volunteers were busy putting up the Christmas tree in Market Square.

Ed Dixon from Kennycourt Developments was along with lifting equipment, making the job considerably easier.



The official switch on of the lights will take place at 5pm on Saturday next 9 December at the Christmas Market. Kilcullen Gospel Choir will be performing from 4pm-5pm just before the switch on.

November 24, 2017 0 Comments
Kilcullen Tidy Towns is set to benefit to the tune of �2,000 in a 60th anniversary of the Tidy Towns competition grant scheme, writes Brian Byrne.

That's the amount allocated to Kilcullen in a total of �76,000 which can be applied for by 42 towns and villages in County Kildare.

All communities which have applied to enter the competition in the last three years are eligible for funding from the once-off investment by the Department of Rural and Community Development.

The scheme has been welcomed by Deputy Martin Heydon, who says it acknowledges the 'amazing work' carried out by Tidy Towns committees and their volunteers.

The Deputy is pictured (right) with Ray Kelly of Kilcullen Tidy Towns and Des O'Brien of Kilcullen GAA at the recent Tidy Towns and Community Awards night.

Martin Murphy of Kilcullen GAA presented Ray Kelly of Kilcullen Community Action with a cheque for �500 last evening as a contribution towards the cost of the Christmas lights this year, writes Brian Byrne.

The presentation was prior to the video showing in O'Connells Bar of the recent GAA LipSync Challenge finals held in Killashee House, which raised in excess of �40,000 towards the Club's development funds.

The Kilcullen Christmas Lights will be officially switched on in a ceremony on 9 December. The event will coincide with a Christmas Market to be organised in the market square on the day by local businesses.
