Kildare newest coffee shop gets green light from Council

Kildare Co Council has given the green light for a cáfe in Oberstown near Naas.

A new 1,000 pupil post primary school is under construction in the area and surrounding businesses include Millennium Park, Kerry Group, Irish Commercials, Aldi Headquarters and Boran Packaging.
