Réada Cronin (Kildare North, Sinn Fein)

This week, the local community in Celbridge gathered again outside the gates of Castletown House to protest the brazen attempts by the OPW to open Lime Avenue without local consultation. The community has been clear and consistent in its demands - the domain has to be reunited, and safe and secure access must be granted to vulnerable pedestrians on Lime Avenue. To their disgust, protocols were broken this week and a vehicle went flying down Lime Avenue yesterday with no escort. I believe they are trying it again today. A car park in the Kildare Innovation Campus, KIC, is a solution. On what date will the application for planning permission be submitted? The CEO of KIC approved it on 22 May. Essential vehicles must also be allowed to use that car park because it was agricultural land and it already took heavy agricultural vehicles. They are too dangerous for Lime Avenue. When will the planning for this be submitted?
