Kilkenny enjoyed yet another successful June Bank Holiday weekend when it hosted the hugely successful Carlsberg Kilkenny Cat’s Laugh Festival. Unfortunately not all of the revellers go home still laughing – some of them will be back in the District Court in Kilkenny in a few weeks time.
As the Kilkenny People reported… “Gardai in the city reported a busy weekend with almost 50 arrests for public order incidents. Over the bank holiday weekend an estimated 25,000 festival-goers descended on the Marble City and there was a visible Garda presence throughout the weekend, which is one of the busiest of the year. There were 20 prisoners held in the Garda barracks on Sunday night, 17 on the Saturday night and six on Friday.”
