TWO UNITS of Kilkenny Fire Brigade dashed to Kilkenny Castle in the early hours of Saturday morning.

 
But the trip from their headquarters at the Jail Road, Kilkenny, proved to be a waste of time.
For the call to duty proved to be a false alarm as there was no sign of a fire at the castle.
The fire fighters arrived at the castle about 12.30am and stayed there until 1.10am when they returned to base.
