Four brand new electric vehicle (EV) charging points will be installed in Maynooth.

The news was announced by Kildare County Council (KCC) at the latest Clane-Maynooth Municipal District meeting, which was held on Friday, May 5.

At the meeting, Green Party councillor Peter Hamilton asked KCC 'to provide an update on the direction and planning for EV charging in Maynooth supporting the Maynooth Decarbonising Zone objectives.'

He also asked KCC to 'outline its role in the provision of EV charging points for mature apartment complexes in this municipal district, supporting the Maynooth Decarbonising Zone objectives, to include any liaison with the agencies, council, Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland and management companies.'placeholder image
