VIDEO: Kilkenny supremo selects rival counties for culture bid

Kilkenny hurling supremo Brian Cody is not in the habit of co-operating with the likes of Waterford and Wexford, but has made an exception to join in the south-east region’s bid to become European Capital of Culture.

The Three Sisters 2020 partnership has seen Kilkenny, Wexford, and Waterford come together to aim for the title and Cody is the third well-known bid ambassador to be recruited by the project.

He joins Wexford-born author Eoin Colfer and music impresario Vince Power from Waterford, who have already lent their weight to the bid.
