The latest archaeological dig on the grounds of Ballymoon Castle, just outside Bagenalstown, have proven very sucessful according to the project leader.  

The two-week dig was led by archaeologist and Bagenalstown native Niall O'Neill and involved the excavation of two trenches, including one at the building's principal entry point.  

Niall told Dermot Keyes (KCLR News) that evidence unearthed during both digs he has been involved in at Ballymoon have greatly increased the likelihood that communities lived alongside the main structure for generations.

At the Kilkenny City Municipal District's May meeting, Cllr Seán Ó hArgáin (Lab) tabled a motion calling for "an audit of all vacant units ‘over the shop’ in the city centre core".

He also called for "consideration of a ‘one stop shop’ approach to advise owners on the possibilities of conversion of these units to badly needed housing accommodation, including energy retrofits, disability access modifications, fire certification, etc. "

Cllr Ó hArgáin explained the rationale behind his motion to KCLR News reporter Dermot Keyes.
