listopad 12th, 2008 by pozycjonerka1[edit] Cultural references There is a limerick (with optional added couplet) about the two cats from Kilkenny:
There once were two cats of Kilkenny
Each thought there was one cat too many
So they fought and they hit
And they scratched and they bit
‘Til (excepting their nails
And the tips of their tails)
Instead of two cats there weren’t any!
The city has been referred to as the "Marble City" for centuries.
Kilkenny, (Irish: Cill Chainnigh, of the Church of Cainneach), is a city and county town of County Kilkenny in Ireland.
Civil War In early May 1922 before the Irish Civil War there was a serious clash in Kilkenny, when anti-Treaty forces occupied the centre of the town and 200 Pro-Treaty troops had to be sent from Dublin to disperse them.
Kilkenny is significant in that it records some of the highest summer and lowest winter temperatures in Ireland.
[3] The hill now containing St. Canice’s Cathedral and the Round Tower seems to be the first major settlement.
On the north stands boldly forth the large and magnificent cathedral church sacred to St. Canice, the abbot; southwards, and verging towards the east, rises the castle, or rather fortress guarded by many castles and bulwarks.
From this twofold source sprang the civic community -the temple and the fortress were the nurses of its infancy - the civil and ecclesiastical polities contributing equally to the growth of its buildings.
