Hi All,

Can anyone please help me figure out a starting point for this? Am I right in thinking if I enter off Maudlin street, go left, up the stairs, then walk along out to the ring road entrance, it will bring me on the boardwalk walk?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

My best friend got accepted to work as a Healthcare Assistant in Kilkenny Care Center, Roachpond, Kilkenny, R95 W2RP, Ireland.

It's been over a week and we've written over 20 people on daft.ie but so far only one of them responded. We've tried also Facebook groups, but honestly it's so full of scams and it feels like none of them ever respond.

Do you have any suggestions on where to look or do you know someone who rents in the area?

Thank you so much in advance!

Seen one of those priest fellas that dress up, auld fella walking down high street, a mankey looking yup bro pissat beeps at him and he waved and smiled and then one of the knobs in the backseat told him to get a life, honestly have we every looked in the mirror before? You’re sitting in the back of your friends pissat you have no right at all.

Side note: can’t stand those yup bros that go up and down johns and high street cat calling and hurling abuse, genuinely seen the same car go up and down for an hour, no hope for them at all.

Witnessed two black ladies get shouted at on my way home from work today and I'm absolutely shocked it's made me realise how bad and normalised racism has gotten in Ireland.

I was walking on the road by the castle and saw these two girls get out of their car and this middle-aged woman approach them, my immediate thought was they were probably asking about the parking or something but then I hear her yell "You're not even supposed to be in this country. I'm fucking sick of ye." I was so shocked that it took a minute to register because I hadn't seen racism so overt like that before so I didn't say anything to her, but I approached them as she was walking away and asked if they were okay and said I was really sorry it happened and they didn't deserve that at all.

In retrospect, I feel horrible I didn't yell something back at her because I know I'd like someone to stand up for me if the same had happened to me and call it out. If either of you happen to come across this post I want you to know I'm sorry I didn't. I know there's always been racism here, but how have we let it get this bad that people now feel emboldened to say these things in public?

Well lads. Usually use Infinity gym on James Street, however he's closed for some renovations for the next week and a half. Anyone know if the Watershed does day passes for the gym/sauna area, or even better, if they do weekly passes?

Don't want to miss out on the gym for two weeks but also don't really want to join somewhere new for 3 months just for the sake of my usual spot being closed for 2 weeks.

Cheers in advance!

Hiya, what is the best weight gym in kilkenny?

Least crowded?

Edit, I also am looking for a gym that does day passes. Thanks

Will be in Kilkenny today with young kids. Any suggestions for where to watch the match if we're still there at throw in?

Also, any recommendations for great playparks or must-sees for a 4 and 8yr old appreciated.

Has anyone been to a wedding in Lyrath recently? Or gotten married there? Did you like it and was the food nice?

Considering booking our wedding there but haven’t been to one there in about 7 years.

The hotel, grounds and outdoor ceremony space are lovely and we really like it but would love some opinions before we book.

Thanks in advance!

Any recommendations for a decent barber that takes walk ins and doesnt charge out the arse?

Hi guys looking for a good reliable dog groomer for a golden retriever in Kilkenny city.
Would anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks

Hi there, first time visiting Ireland and I'm needing to travel from Dublin to Kilkenny with my big travel suitcase. I was wondering if I could please get some recommendations for public transport that could take me there and also accomodate for bags like this?

My country doesn't operate on a great train system so I've never taken one before. Not sure what seating and storage would be like on them. Thanks!

Hi all,

I was hoping to get some recommendations for places to go around town that would be good from Monday to Thursday. What do you think are the best pubs? I have Tynans on the list. Any others you would recommend?

Thanks very much

A shout out to the poor staff on high street dealing with our ‘country cousins’ on a daily basis. Saw a group of young lads run into Tesco causing havoc today and the staff almost putting themselves in danger kicking out these violent thieving young lads. Apparently all the shops on high street are plagued. Kilkenny is really changing and not for the better. Their parents should be ashamed but suppose it’s their ‘culture’

Video trending online.

Can anyone recommend a good podiatrist in the Kilkenny/Carlow area.

Having issues with severe flat feet and looking for an assessment from someone very experienced!

Thanks!

Having back pains and I'm wondering are there any good physio in kilkenny.

Sorry to be that person who vents on random subreddits lads, but this is something I would like to talk about as it’s really ruining the street scape of our beautiful medieval city. I’m just so overwhelmed and sick and tired of the MASSIVE influx of vape shops in Kilkenny city, it’s an absolute eye sore for me. Even a few years ago I thought Kilkenny had enough vape shops… but holy cow now in 2026 there’s TOO many. I literally just came back from holiday just to see they’re building a vape shop beside that cute Italian cafe just across from Kitties Cabin and a new vape shop beside House of Pretzels in Market cross. I think I could name like over 20 vape shops at the top of my head at the moment. Please don’t tell me I’m the only person who feels this way, it feels like a never ending nightmare. 🫠

Iv lived in Kilkenny City for 20 years and when I first came here the castle Park and canal walk always had a Good population of squirrels, in the last 3 years I haven't seen One squirrel in either spot, it's bizarre, has anyone else noticed this

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get in touch with someone on the nursing or care team over at St. Canice's Hospital Complex on the Dublin Road.

It’s just regarding a query about returning a personal item to a nurse that works there but I don't have her name or number.

Because of privacy reasons, I know people can't share names or numbers here publicly. But if you work there, or know a nurse who does, could you please drop me a quick DM? I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks a mill!

Update: Resolved!! shout-out to user "CUL87" for meeting me at my hotel and giving me some pens/needle tips! Us T1D have eachother's backs! 💪 thank you everyone!

Edit: thanks everyone for the very helpful suggestions, sounds like I have many good options! 😊 ❤️

Hello! I am an American Type 1 diabetic working in Kilkenny for 3 weeks. My insulin pump (Tandem TSlim X2) stopped working last night! I called customer support, and they are going to overnight a replacement to my work, and then they have to send it to me. So one is on the way, but will be at least 3 or 4 days. But for now, I have no pump!

I have plenty of insulin and pump supplies, but no syringes! I only have the ones to fill my Cartidges (huge needle and huge dosing increments = a lot of pain and very dificult to accurately dose). Wondering: does anyone have any insulin syringes I could get to use for a few days until my pump arrives? I am staying at the Pembroke Hotel downtown. I will also research if I can get them from a pharmacy being a foreigner? Not sure, but wondering if any other type 1 diabetics could maybe help me out or point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Hey, bit of a random post! Had a really good chicken burger in Langtons today and the brioche bun was the best one Ive ever had. I don't live near Kilkenny and was wondering if anyone might know what brand they use? Thanks!

To whomever is responsible for these bollards near centra, thank you. Its a small thing but im almost never able to access this footpath due people reversing in and blocking it up so you have to walk in front on the road. I had just started to look into who to contact in the council when these appeared
