Lot of stuff here about other bridges in Kilkenny...should they be in this article? Sarah777 (talk) 22:41, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There is almost no bridge to be seen in this sunset. What about somebody making a few nice pictures? --AHert (talk) 11:25, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Design
Remove because article is about Green's Bridge, not its designer or any other bridges. After severe flooding in 1763 had destroyed several bridges in the County, Smith designed a number of bridges including Castlecomer Bridge (1763) on the Dinin (Dinan, Deen) River, Thomastown Bridge (post-1763 and 1792) on the River Nore, Graiguenamanagh Bridge (1764-7) on the River Barrow, and Inistioge Bridge (1763) on the River Nore.

Construction
It is thought to be the first location where the "Kilkenny Black Marble" was quarried in Ireland. This site is included as a County Geological Site as it is of historic and geological significance.

As well as in several local buildings like the Tholsel, Kilkenny Black Marble was used in the Cobh Cathedral, the plinth of the tomb of Richard III in Leicester Cathedral, and the headstone of Daniel O'Connell in Glasnevin Cemetery. Some fossils can be observed on the visible rock faces, mainly solitary corals and occasional brachiopods.  Baffle gab1978  03:13, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Plaque
I cannot find that plaque anywhere on the bridge, also the references under footnotes 3 and 14 do not mention the plaque either. A.-K. D. (talk) 17:32, 5 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks @A.-K. D., I removed this reference to the plaque - I also was unable to find it. I don't know where I got this detail, but clearly wrong. Thanks again. Mrchris (talk) 13:09, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
