Kildare County Council (KCC) has issued a Taking in Charge report for a site located in Castledermot.

The report was delivered in response to a query submitted by the Mayor of the Athy Municipal District (MD), Labour Party councillor Aoife Breslin, at the latest MD meeting on Monday, June 16 last.

Specifically, she asked Kildare County Council to "outline the up to date position in relation to the Taking in Charge of The Friary, Castledermot".

In response, Kildare County Council told Mayor Breslin: "Development Control are actively engaging with Uisce Éireann regarding the final scope of works for the agreed site resolution plan.

"While it had been hoped that works would commence in 2024, the agreement was only formalised and finalised in recent months to include a wayleave relating to the surface water network discharge into the adjoining site."
