New housing developments in Maynooth

Sports/exercise clubs maybe too.

The likes of MacFitness do bootcamp classes daily and there seems to be a lot of people who would know each other from there, there's pilates classes in Finesse on the main street (probably other places doing yoga etc too), and the Glenroyal has spin classes and other things.

If you're into running, or would like to get involved, Cocas running club in Kilcock would have lots of Maynooth members.

Thanks a mil, more great suggestions. I do want to join a running club but wasn't sure if St Cocas or Le Cheile has more of a Maynooth base, seems like its St Cocas

Maynooth GAA and Maynooth Town always looking for volunteers when your own kids start playing. A good way to meet people and contribute to the community. I think there is storytime for younger children in the library during the week also but who knows with COVID.

Anyone know what's going in across the road from the charity shop, next door to the furniture/bed store?

There’s loads of stuff for smaller kids too and we’ve met lots of people through the kids activities. Once they start in JI they can join the GAA or soccer club, GAA always need volunteer parents either to help coach or run the admin side.

There’s Maynooth Toddler Group and Maynooth Mammies Facebook pages which have events and meet ups too

Apparently the Mullen park houses that were meant to be sold to the investment fund didn't sell because it the developer built the ground floor of the houses higher than the recommended height. This is creating a flood risk for some other houses in the vicinity. Sounds like there will need to be remedial works. Same developer that is building the Lyreen Lodge. Council up in arms.

Thanks a mil for this

The Irish Times: Appeals board blocks bulk buying of homes in Maynooth scheme.

Heaven forbid that the people who move in there should have a nice pedestrian route into town. Such a pathetic and narrow minded decision

Anyone else buying in Mullen park? Just a few Qs about how its going

I presume this development going ahead will mean the new M4 connection the leixlip side of Maynooth now must be built?

I know it isn't a condition but didn't the council say when the housing was built down to the lake then the connection would be built. Maybe my memory is failing me. I'd hope that is the case. Another serious amount of housing when the place can already be a carpark.

The Lyreen Lodge development? On this thread not long back someone claimed they were told the remaining houses wouldn't be sold. Best check with Sherry Fitz. Alternatively, you might be talking about the Cairns home development dubbed Castlepark 2. This only just got planning and they have a huge active site in Naas, Whitethorn village. My guess is they'll start this once Naas is finished. The Whitethorn density frightens me a little for what might happen at Castlepark 2. Currently, two huge 6 or 7 story apartments blocks are being built out on a ring road with no other tall buildings or facilities of any type about. Anyways, this appears the future. From memory, I thought the site out the front of Mariavilla had planning for a couple of similar apartment blocks. Best check the planning website to be sure.
