Re: Submission in relation to Draft Kilkenny County Development Plan 2014 - 2020

Dear Sir / Madam,

Mainstream Renewable Power wish to make the following submission to Kilkenny County Council in relation the Wind Energy Development Strategy 2014 - 2020 which is currently in draft format.

INTRODUCTION :

In relation to the Brewery Site, and on foot of recent meetings with various creative interests in the City; I think that there is potential in the development of a Creative Hub on the Brewery Site. This could bring together various disciplines such as the highly regarded Jewellery Making Course, Pottery, Animation, Graphic and Industrial Design as well as the possiblility of a Third Level Presence of a Drama/Theatre College linked to our municipal Watergate Theatre, specialising perhaps in Theatre for young audiences and technical aspects of theatre production.
