According to LAWPRO, it has been working in the area as part of the second cycle River Basin Management Plan for Ireland.
At the meeting, LAWPRO will explain to the public how the second cycle works and what is being planned for the 3rd cycle Water Action Plan.
LAWPRO also asserted that there will also be opportunities for the public to ask questions and talk to members of the Agricultural Sustainability Support and Advisory Programme (ASSAP).
Speaking ahead of the public meeting, Anthony Coleman, Director of Services with LAWPRO, said: “As we are coming to the end of second cycle work in the Clane-Maynooth Municipal District and begin implementation of the new Water Action Plan we would like to take this opportunity to welcome members of the public to come along and find out more about what’s happening in their local waterbodies and river catchments.
"We hope to engage as many people as possible at this meeting in Kildare, because public participation and support is key to achieving water quality improvements."
