Kilkenny is the one place on this map with the firm's own front door: 2 Rose Inn Street, in the middle of a heritage city whose medieval core carries designations that shape planning in both directions - and a rural county whose one-off housing, farms and family-land files are the office's daily bread. In person across a desk, or by the same remote exchange the rest of the country uses: the 48-hour standard runs from either.
The Rose Inn Street Office
A genuine local office of a firm established in 1981: 2 Rose Inn Street, R95 W58D, between The Parade and John’s Bridge - michelle@marymolloysolicitors.ie for appointments, 01 5827148 for the practice line, Monday to Friday with same-week appointments the norm. Planning files run from it constantly: the objection to the scheme on the next street, the refused rural house and its appeal, the warning letter answered inside its window, the family-land transfer sequenced against the site application. For those who prefer it, the whole file runs across the desk; for everyone else, the remote exchange - documents by email, advice by phone, evenings workable - runs identically, and most files combine both: the first meeting in person, the drafting at document speed thereafter.
Heritage Core, Rural County - Both Handled From Here
The medieval city’s designations shape both chairs: applications touching protected structures and the conservation-area fabric meet requirements ordinary works never face - status checked first, always, because works affecting protected character need permission almost regardless of scale, and mistakes in conservation contexts carry exposure paperwork can’t cure - while objections in the heritage core gain policy footing ordinary streetscapes lack, character arguments citing the plan’s own protections. Around the city, the county file: local-needs housing evidenced like the legal case it is, the farming family’s position presented from folios and herd numbers, refusals sorted honestly and appealed on the four-week clock where the sorting supports it, farm exemptions within their precise limits alongside farmsolicitor.ie, and the enforcement and old-works questions of rural property - Section 5 before retention, the sale-day paperwork built before the market asks.
