Ok its official, contracts are signed and we are moving to Naas and we cannot wait. Reading the posts above make us realise how much investment there is in Naas (Naas shopping centre, Poplar Sq, Kerdiffstown Park, Canal Greenway and much more)

And with the increased population due to the new housing estates, and the fact that most people will wfh going forward, I would hope to see more cafes, bars, restaurants opening up in the town. So exciting times ahead!

Now that I know we will be moving in 2 weeks time... eek... I need to source a moving van. Can anyone recommend a van and a man, preferably 2 men, to help with the move?? We have a good bit of furniture so would need to be a large van (i.e. bed, kitchen table, 2 sofas, desk etc).

Thx ;-)

GoCar.ie have a transit van parked outside b&q, €13 an hour, great value, but you have to do your own lifting!

Never heard that.

Choice of fairly free flow journey or stop start on Monread road?

The amount of mis information and rubbish about this is amazing

Will take a lot of traffic off the monread road and make sallins a habitable place again.

Yeah, if you manually put in the DNS it resolves it.

The GDA transport strategy is being devised by the NTA and I recommend everyone living in the Naas-Area posts a submission here: https://www.research.net/r/NTATransportStrategyIssuesPaper

As Naas is rapidly developing, transport infrastructure has been virtually unchanged in the past two decades (minus the Phoenix park tunnel service on the commuter train service and the 139)

We need more local bus services connecting communities. We need buses that are connected into the single fare system, the likes of which are found in county Wicklow in Blessington, Bray and Greystones, or even Maynooth.

We need more frequent bus services. The 139 is infrequent and expensive. The 126 is unsuitable for local travel and overpriced. We are not included in BusConnects plans. We are not included in DART expansion programme, which Maynooth and Celbridge are. We are not included in the standard bus fare, or the bus fare capping. Also, you cannot make connections on buses in Naas without financial penalty. What public transport infrastructure projects are we included in over the next decade? I can’t think of any.

I encourage everyone to have their say.

Anyone have experience using or giving the Naas Gift Card? Do many businesses in Naas honour them?

Seems to have relaunched a couple of times. No Facebook page anymore. I can only look on the me2you website for shops in Kildare not specifically Naas and I wouldn’t be overly familiar with what ones are in Naas.

I wanted to try and get some gifts for Christmas to keep the money in the locality.

Good choice. Yeah Naas seems to be leading the way at the moment with development and infrastructure in Kildare. It’s population alone in the last 5 years or so has increased substantially. The new Naas Shopping Centre will really add to the choice in the town centre in itself. Still the donut effect will continue I’d imagine with shopping centres outside the town centre. The Naas/Sallins Area is more of a large suburb now then a town.

Exciting times ahead for the area I’d say

Anyone know when the new road from Sallins around to the motorway / applegreen is opening?

im not sure its going to take traffic off the monread road. if im going from sallins to dublin, im not going to double back for ages by getting on a more southern part of the N7. It would be alot quicker, closer to the way the crow flies to hit the monread road at the sallins/millenium park roundabout and enter the N7 further up north.

You obviously don’t travel that route very often then do you?

It certainly will take the pressure off Monread Rd especially Millennium Roundabout and I’d imagine the majority of Sallins residents will use the new Millennium Interchange.

twice a day weekdays. maybe more on weekends.

its an absolute massive detour to new m7 entrance at millenium park. guarantee no-one in sallins will use it. maybe if coming from clane and you can bypass the whole of sallins, might work then when traffic is bad.

I live in Sallins, anyone travelling from Clane or the Clane side of Sallins and travelling to the north of Naas and Dublin will not take this interchange, they will continue to take the Bodenstown Road, the canal road to Johnstown garden centre or the Monread road. I'll continue to use the Sallins road and Monread road for the north end of Naas.

The new interchange will be a benefit for me heading to the south end of Naas or Waterford /Limerick routes.

seems pointless then if this is the sentiment as the majority of the traffic will be going to/from Dublin

Absolutely will use it going North or South on the N7!

One anonymous person and you take it as "everyone"


I'll give a challenge when it opens

You take Johnstown, Naas golf club, canal route

Get someone else go Monread road,

I'll go 9a.

I suspect that I'll get to Sallins or Clane quicker every time.

Free flow steady speed with no congestion points or narrow one car only bridges.

Anyone have a map / image of the proposed bypass road?

I would have thought that unlikely with the one just over the road in shelbyville.

Hi folks, does anyone have a recommendation for a plumber? Looking to get a load of new radiators and potentially move our boiler do up the downstairs loo!

I don't have any contacts really in Naas so was hoping someone might have a recommendation?
