Public meeting for Twinning visit

The Kilcullen delegation and their Saint Contest hosts in 2023.

A reminder that a public meeting to encourage community involvement in an upcoming visit from Kilcullen's Normandy twin, Saint Contest, will be held in Kilcullen Town Hall on Tuesday next 14 January, writes Brian Byrne. A 14-strong delegation from the French town is due here for five days beginning 13 February.

This will be the second visit from Saint Contest following the inaugural event in 2019, during the Kilcullen 700 celebration year.  The pandemic delayed a return Kilcullen trip until 2023, but didn't stop the twinning progress.

"The twinning is growing in many ways and has led to partnerships between our schools, and work and language placements," says the Kilcullen Twinning Group's Tanya Flanagan. "We are supported by the Twinning Committee in Kildare County Council and we are very keen to share the progress of the partnership to date."

Everyone is welcome to the meeting, and all offers of help and ideas for extending a full Kilcullen hospitality experience to the visitors will be appreciated.
