Kildare Innovation Campus in North Kildare to explore earlier opening of strategic link road
Fianna Fáil TD for Kildare North, Naoise Ó Cearúil is engaging with Kildare Innovation Campus
Fianna Fáil TD for Kildare North, Naoise Ó Cearúil, has confirmed that he is engaging with the Kildare Innovation Campus regarding the possibility of expediting public access to the new through road linking Leixlip and Celbridge.
Deputy Ó Cearúil recently visited the site alongside Allan Shine, CEO of Kildare Innovation Campus, to view progress on the major infrastructure project, which is currently due to open next year.
Speaking following the visit, Deputy Ó Cearúil said: “This is a marvellous piece of infrastructure that has the potential to significantly improve connectivity between Leixlip and Celbridge while also helping to ease local congestion pressures.
“The road itself is progressing really well and the surrounding area is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views across the Wonderful Barn and wider landscape around the campus.
“I am now working with the Kildare Innovation Campus team to explore whether public access could potentially be expedited ahead of the current opening timeline. Even a modest acceleration could make a meaningful difference for commuters and local residents.”
Deputy Ó Cearúil said the project demonstrates the importance of continued investment in strategic infrastructure across North Kildare.
“Kildare continues to grow rapidly and we need infrastructure that keeps pace with that growth. Projects like this can have a real positive impact on daily life for people travelling between our towns and villages.
“I want to thank Allan Shine and the team at Kildare Innovation Campus for their continued engagement.”
