End of an era as Kildare bank to be converted into offices

Kildare County Council has granted permission for a closed Bank of Ireland building to be converted into offices. 

Community-based residential and respite service, Dara Residential Services had sought the change of use of the former bank premises on the Main Street of Celbridge.

It's understood that charity Dara Community Living, which supports adults with an intellectual disability to live an ordinary life in their local community, will use the new facility as a community hub and  office space.

It was announced in 2021 that Bank of Ireland in Celbridge would be closing. 

Bank of Ireland branches in Kilcullen, Monasterevin and Edenderry were also shut at the time.
