If you're out and about in St. Mullins over the next couple of days keep an eye out for the ghost carriage. And the Gardaí will be interested in it too: no lights, probably no tax or insurance, and you can bet the NCT is out aswell... 🎃😱 👻 #Halloween #ThrowbackThursday

The 1990 #PresidentialElection had a little bit of everything:
"Mature recollections", "Dirty whispering" & a candidate that couldn't even count on himself for a vote...

This week 2009 - A perfect storm of protest in Carlow, as both farmers and students take to the streets to "paralyse the town".
But, in fairness to the farmers, they get off home before the schools close.

In celebration of #HeritageWeek2025 an excavation is currently underway in Carlow College St. Patrick's: hopefully the findings will be as illuminating as those from Rathgall Hillfort outside Tullow, in the summer of 1969:
