A councillor aligned with the Labour Party asked Kildare County Council (KCC) to prepare a plan for a vacated fire brigade and council yard.
The request was made by Cllr Angela Feeney at the latest Clane-Maynooth Municipal District, which took place on Friday, December 1 last.
Cllr Feeney motioned for KCC to 'prepare a plan for the vacated fire brigade and council yard, in tandem with the Harbourfield area to create a community hub for Maynooth.'

In response to her motion, KCC said in its report at the meeting: "The provision for a community centre at the vacated fire brigade / council site in Maynooth is expected to emerge from the Town Renewal Masterplan for Maynooth as one of the ten key town renewal projects.
"The business case, which forms part of the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund application, has recently been approved by the Department.
"It is expected that the Town Renewal Masterplan for Maynooth will take place in 2024."
KCC added: "The timelines for the Harbourfield developments have yet to be finalised."
