The announcement was welcomed by a local representative

Kildare County Council (KCC) has revealed when redevelopment works are expected to start on a former convent building.

The information was provided to a councillor at the latest Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District meeting, which took place on Wednesday, May 20 last.

Near the end of this meeting, Fianna Fáil Cllr Brian O’Loughlin asked KCC if it could provide a commencement date for the redevelopment of St John’s Convent in Rathangan.

In response to his query, KCC had this to say: “Clúid [which is a housing authority] has advised KCC that the contractor expects to commence construction in mid-June.”

Cllr O’Loughlin told a representative for KCC (who was also present at the meeting) that he welcomed the news.

He also asked the rep if they were aware of an estimated completion date.

The rep replied: “No, but I will find out for you.”
