The project to renovate eight houses in Kingston College kicked off in earnest this week, with Kings Square cordoned off to traffic, many high vis vests spied, and a general air of busyness about the historic square.
When The Avondhu called to have a nose around on Tuesday afternoon, there was a sense of a lot of bodies beavering away, but even with a reported 150 people on-site, it was generally peaceful and unchaotic.
Children from Ballyhoura Afterschool Mitchelstown were visiting from a safe distance on Tuesday, watching the action from the front green.
Meanwhile, a team of carpenters from Clonmel worked on resealing the antique windows which must be preserved, while furniture from the houses is also being salvaged and restored.
