The redevelopment of Maynooth Harbour is part of a larger proposed re-development of the Maynooth Harbour area by Kildare County Council.

Waterways Ireland is aware of plans being advanced by Kildare County Council and has met with Council officials in this regard.

The plans  incorporate improvements to the Harbour area that is within the control of Waterways Ireland.  The plans are subject to the Council obtaining planning and funding approval.

Waterways Ireland is supportive of the plans and will continue to work with the Council to support their delivery.

As a funding application has yet to be made by Kildare County Council, there is currently no committed funding  for 2019 or 2020.
