Parish Feis in March

The annual Parish Feis will be held in the Kilcullen Community Centre on 9 March.

The four decades old event is run by the Landers School of Dancing for parish funds. The Feis started out as one of the events held in the marquee during Kilcullen's annual Carnival, later moved to the JFK Hall, and is now a regular in the Community Centre.

"We're hoping for another good response this year," Elizabeth Landers told the Diary, recalling that their first parish feis resulted in benefit to the parish of £59, but these days the event raises several thousand euros each year.

The parish debt is currently 209,772 euros.
