€17,370 for Greenway and Ancillary Infrastructure in Ardclough such as picnic tables, bicycle racks, and €10,980 for the provision of cycle parking in St. Catherine’s Park, Leixlip, Co. Kildare
Minister of State and Kildare South Fine Gael TD, Martin Heydon, says “Congratulations to the Parks Team in Kildare County Council for their success with these outdoor projects that will bring greater outdoor activities and connectivity to many rural areas of Co. Kildare. Investment in outdoor activities and provision of infrastructure to facilitate a safe outdoor experience is to be encouraged and I will continue to support Kildare County Council for any such funding opportunities”.
