My review of Fleva in today's Day and Night magazine in the Irish Independent.
Ah, the Marble City: land of my youth. Of course, today Kilkenny is a very different city -- and yes, it is a city despite numerous attempts by others to downgrade its status to "town" -- to the one in which I became a man. These days, it's more like a terrifyingly successful suburb of Dublin, a stomping ground for those looking to flee the capital for a weekend, to which the 6.25pm train on a Friday evening from Dublin to Kilkenny will rowdily attest.

About Me
- Declan Cashin
- I'm 28, from Kilkenny originally and living in Dublin for the past six years. I graduated with an MA in Journalism from DIT in 2006. I work as a feature writer for the Irish Independent and the Irish Examiner. I worked in the Irish Daily Star for 18 months as a news and features subeditor, before going full-time freelance in January 2008. Over the years I've also reviewed books for The Irish Times, as well wording it up for Gay Community News (GCN), the Sunday Tribune, the Irish Daily Mail, The Event Guide, The Dubliner and The Spanner, as well as UCD Today and UCD Connections magazines. I'm occasionally known to pop up on The Last Word on Today FM and on various shows on NewsTalk 106-108FM, such as Tom Dunne, Lunchtime with Eamon Keane, The Right Hook, Culture Shock, and Weekend Blend, and have also made censors nervous on Spin, Phantom and RTE 2FM on Dave Fanning's show. I've made some inroads into TV, appearing on The Morning Show with Sybil and Martin, and Midday (pre-Sisterhood takeover), both on TV3. Watch out Tubridy!
