Locals seeking potential renewed use of disused Machinery Yard located in Kildare

A vacant Machinery Yard located in North Kildare could be used once again by locals, the Cathaoirleach of the Clane-Maynooth Municipal District (MD) has suggested.

Fianna Fáil Cllr Daragh Fitzpatrick asked Kildare County Council (KCC) to "confirm its plans to engage with local groups in Broadford", with a view to allowing locals to use the site.

The question from Cllr Fitzpatrick was raised at the latest MD meeting, which was held on Friday, April 4 last.

He also emphasised to KCC that he did not wish to see the Machinery Yard end up as a derelict site.
