Happy Paddy's Day from Graignamanagh, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland!

| The crowd starts to gather |
 |
The 1st of 12 Cistercian monk statues due to be placed around Graignamanagh makes his debut.
He'll be found returning to Duiske Abbey after working in the surrounding fields. |

| Would our monk perhaps have had a cart like this? |
 |
| This one might be a little small! |
 |
| The monks may have loved to have a contraption like this! |
But they might have been unimpressed by these machines!
After the noise of the big fella, a nice relaxed pint is called for! Maybe our monk isn't on his way back to the Abbey- perhaps he's on his way to the pub now, like many of us. It is time for some music & chatter! Happy St. Patrick's Day from Graignamanagh!
PS: The Graignamanagh Historical Society will be giving a talk on the ''Medieval Stone Carvings of County Kilkenny'' on Fri 25 March, 8pm in the Graig library.
