Minister feels the love at opening of Valentine’s art exhibition in Inistioge

MINISTER Eoghan Murphy took time out from dealing with the country’s housing crisis to pay a low-key visit to a special Valentine’s themed art exhibition in the heart of South Kilkenny.

Minister Murphy was in Kilkenny for a flying visit last week as he cut the ribbon on a new social housing development in Castlecomer and turned the sod on another new estate in Urlingford.

But the minister had time to ditch the hard hat and make his way to the Mermaid Gallery in Inistioge to enjoy some cultural downtime.

Minister Murphy is pictured above with Stacey Williams at the opening of ‘A Romantic Trilogy’ Valentine’s exhibition, which is running at the Mermaid Gallery until mid-March.
