On Monday I was in Kilkenny. It had been a few months since my last visit and it was great to see the Days Hotel Kilkenny doing so well as we start into our second year. There was a lovely atmosphere in the Hotel, both the management and staff have really settled down well and are doing a super job. I did not get to see the latest Kilkenny attraction, Whispers, the new lap dancing club that has been creating a stir in the national media over the last few weeks. Regardless of your opinion of clubs such as these I have no doubt that the owners are delighted with all the media attention. I tend to agree with my old schoolmate Councillor Pat Crotty, when he said that the club controversy was “not even a storm in a teacup and in six months time people won’t even remember it.” The likelihood is Whispers will go the same way as Dublin’s high profile club Stringfellows, which closed quietly last year. At least the new name is a little better than the previous business, a Tex Mex restaurant called the Drunken Mexican. That name led to objections as some felt it promoted irresponsible drinking.
