THE KILKENNY JOURNAL
The Kilkenny Journal is a newspaper established as Finn's Leinster Journal in 1775 In 1830 it was retitled The Kilkenny Journal.

The Kilkenny Journal is a newspaper established as Finn's Leinster Journal in 1767. It ceased publication as a printed newspaper in 1965. Now it reappears online edited by me, one of its journalists of 1964. It is now a community newspaper website devoted to the promotion of intelligence, education and decency in the everyday life of Kilkenny and all its citizens. |It is as such an important community resource. But it is more. It is also a point of contact between Kilkenny people at home and abroad and thus a pivotal spot for the Irish diaspora. Thus we hope that Irish men and women worldwide will join in this great new venture based on a great old newspaper. Editor: Michael McGrath, formerly Journalist & Photographer for the Munster Express, Waterford. Formerly columnist on The Kilkenny Standard. Journalists: Ross Nicholls. Gabriel Murray. Photographers: Michael McGrath, Kilkenny & Pat Moore, Kilkenny. Editor: Michael McGrath.

A very happy 90th birthday to one of Kilkenny’s best-known characters! 🎉🎂

Paddy Kenna of Kenna’s Butchers on Friary Street has been a familiar face in the city for decades, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down!

When once asked about retirement, Paddy joked it would be “when he falls down and has to be carried out in a box!” 😂
