Between Towns And Villages spotlight falls on Callan-Thomastown (Part Two)

Last night’s episode of Between Towns And Villages was broadcast live from Malzard’s in the village of Stoneyford.

Presenter Brian Redmond was then joined for a round table discussion by Bee O’Grady (Mountain View, Ballyhale), Laura Mason (The Coffee Stop, Inistioge) and Étaoin Holohan (Fennelly’s on Bridge Street in Callan – also part of Callan’s Town Team) about the joys and challenges of running their own businesses.

Carrickshock and Kilkenny hurling great Richie Walsh was joined by fellow Stoneyford resident Adele Walsh, who both chatted to Brian about the fantastic community-led work which has done so much to improve the profile of the village and neighbouring Ennisnag in recent years.

The lie of the land in both Kells and Thomastown were discussed in depth by local residents Seamus Knox and Seamus Quigley respectively when speaking to Brian before our programme concluded with the thoughts of Municipal District Councillors Deirdre Cullen (FF), Joe Lyons (FG) and Joe Sheridan (FF).
