Permission sought for expansion of car park at Maynooth Train Station

Iarnród Eireann have lodged an application for planning permission to Kildare County Council to expand the car park at Maynooth Train Station.

The matter has been welcomed by Kildare North Labour General Election Candidate Emmet Stagg.

An additional 34 parking spaces are being sought at the station, which would greatly improve its capacity for park and ride passengers.

The additional car parking spaces will be provided through an expansion of the north side car park at Maynooth Train Station. A decision is due on the planning application on 12th February next, and all going well, tenders will be invited for the work before the end of March, 2019, with construction expected to be completed by the end of next year.

Taken with the 39 additional car parking spaces which are being provided on the south side of the Train Station, which is currently under site survey, and due to be completed by the end of September, 2019, we will have 73 additional car parking spaces provided at Maynooth Train Station in 2019, bringing the total number of car parking spaces at Maynooth Train Station up from the current 158 spaces to 231.

Mr Stagg stated that he looked forward to the expansion in 2019.
