The death has occurred of Billy Norris
Billy was a founding director of Piltown Community Enterprise in 1988 and was actively involved in most of the projects undertaken over the past 35 years.
He was particularly involved in the development and maintenance of the Enterprise Centres at Fiddown and Piltown bringing all his experience as a builder to ensure that their planning, building, and completion was to the highest standard.
As our fellow director, ‘’Clerk of Works’’ and friend he will be sadly missed.
We extend our sympathy to his wife Nell and all his family.
May he rest in peace.

The Market House
Kilkenny County Council have completed the tender process for the development of a Remote Working Hub in part of the existing The Market House(Garda Station).
A grant to fund 90% of the cost has been awarded to Kilkenny County Council under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund 2021/2022.
The work on the Restructuring and Refurbishment to accommodate a new Remote working HUB will commence in October and the old Garda Station will be completely renovated by Kilkenny County Council.
The Hub will have Flexible and designated desks and a number of offices available for rent. Once complete it will revert to The Market House and become a modern Remote Working Hub.
Construction commencing October 2023

Facilitated Projects
Over the past 36 years we have been involved in many projects and local developments. Many have been facilitated with other organisations to the benefit of the parish. Here are just some of the more recent.
Pil River Park and Playground is a welcome addition to the village and a perfect meeting point for many families within the area and beyond. This amenity is long overdue and is being enjoyed by many families from Piltown and beyond. Local support has been a major part of the success this project. The big event ‘The OsKars’ was an outstanding financial success in the fundraising.
