KILDARE: Veterinary clinic chain gets green light for new premises

A veterinary clinic chain has been granted planning permission to open a new branch in Kildare.

Linnaeus Veterinary Ireland Limited sought a change of use of Unit A10 at the Celbridge M4 Business Park to a veterinary clinic for domestic pets.

The floor area is listed as 427 square metres.

Founded in 2014, Linnaeus has over 180 branches across the UK and Ireland, with a total of over 1,032 vets and 1,490 nursing staff.

It offers specialist referral services, as well as primary care, across its practices.

In addition to its Maynooth branch, Linnaeus also has branches in Firhouse, Blackrock, Primrose Hill and Lucan, all in County Dublin.
