FETHARD SISTERS GET GREAT REVIEW FOR NÓINÍN
Sisters Sinéad and Maeve Moclair, Ballinlough, Fethard, photographed at their Kilkenny restaurant, Nóinín.
Fethard sisters Sinéad and Maeve Moclair, were very unaware of a lady who visited their restaurant situated at £ John's Bridge, Kilkenny, some weeks ago. She later revealed she was Katy McGuinness, who reviews restaurants for her column in the Irish Independent Weekend Magazine. It was some weeks later, Saturday, July 22, 2023, that it appeared in print on page 20! A pleasant well deserved review . . . READ MORE

LAUNCH OF HISTORIC TOWNS ATLAS, No 13, Fethard
On Saturday evening, 7th February, 2004, Dr. Willie Nolan launched the Fethard-Historic Town Atlas No. 13 for the Royal Irish Academy in the Abymill Theatre at 8.15pm. The Fethard Town Atlas, by Dr. Tadhg O'Keeffe, includes historical and archaeological details of over 400 sites, an historical essay, and a range of large-format maps, reconstructions, views and photographs. All trace the growth of Fethard from its possible origins as an early Christian church site, to its foundation as an Anglo-Norman town in the early 1200s, right up to the 20th century. Fethard will join twelve other Irish towns and cites, which have been published as part of the Irish Historical Town Atlas series.

WALKING AROUND FETHARD (11th October 2003)
Why has it taken me a half-a-life time to discover that Fethard is a charming and most interesting town? Perhaps it is that it has had to live in the shadow of the, capital of South Tipperary - Clonmel - a town which for much of the last half century has been arrogantly sucking the commercial lifeblood of its smaller neighbours.

NEW GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR BRENDAN (10th August 2003)
Shaking hands with someone is an action which doesn't cost us a thought - but to shake hands with over 14,000 people in the space of just eight hours is a different matter. However, that's exactly what a Fethard man did last week at the National Ploughing Championships, and all to raise money for a very worthy cause.

MOTORSPORT IS DANGEROUS (10th August 2003)
A variety of incidents over the past year have provided proof (if proof were ever needed), to remind us of the dangers inherent in our sport - danger for competitors obviously, but also danger for spectators and danger for officials. As a result, Motorsport Ireland (the sports governing body) set up a Safety Review Group to review safety in rallying. As a consequence of this review, recommendations were made and many of these recommendations are now incorporated into the regulations governing the sport.
