Closed for some time now, hopes are high that new tenants can be found for Billy’s Team Rooms in Ballyhale.

The first of the community tearoom endeavours in Kilkenny, the premises on Ballyhale’s main street has lain dormant for some time but is still primed to be operated as a café or eatery.

Now, Kilkenny County Council have issued a call for proposals of interest for the south Kilkenny site.

Identified as a vacant site, the call seeks expressions of interest for the premises, for use by a community group or groups, voluntary organisations or third parties focused on running and managing a community café/shop or social enterprise.

Forms are available via KilkennyCoCo.ie or for more information, Catherine Byrne Murphy at Kilkenny County Council can be contacted on 056 7764115.
