The topic was discussed at the latest Clane-Maynooth Municipal District meeting, which as held last week.
Kildare County Council (KCC) was asked to provide an update on the funding application for the provision of a business campus in Kilcock.
The question was raised by Fine Gael councillor Tim Durkan at the latest Clane-Maynooth Municipal District (MD) meeting, which took place on Friday, July 5 last.
In response to his query, KCC said via its report at the meeting: "Pobal is still evaluating the application; they have sought some technical clarifications which KCC has responded to."
"The council is awaiting the final decision from Pobal," KCC added.

Cllr Durkan said that he noted the report, and added: "The project has snowballed, particularly during the (recent) local elections."
He added that he is aware of 'a list of nearly 120 businesses' looking to set up shop in the proposed campus.
"I hope to see this progress as soon as possible," Cllr Durkan added.
