Politicians to make history in Monasterevin today

Athy Municipal Council will make history by holding its monthly meeting in Monasterevin Community Centre (formerly the CYMS Hall) today.

The meeting is open to the public and all are welcome. Councillors Aoife Breslin (Cathaoirleach), Ivan Keatley (Mayor of Kildare), Mark Dalton, Martin Miley, Thomas Redmond and Mark Wall will attend.

Monasterevin Community Centre is delighted to be able to host this meeting as it is due to the funding of Kildare Co Council and local donations that the premises is open to the public.

In 2002 the CYMS closed its doors.

In 2014 the doors of the old CYMS were reopened under the aegis of the Monasterevin Community Centre.

The absence of heating greatly restricted the use of the premises in Winter 2014/2015 but with the arrival of heating in 2015 due to Kildare Co Co. funding the use of the premises has increased greatly.

The premises is now regular host to the monthly People’s Market, weekly Bowls, Ballet Classes, Irish dancing Classes, Line Dancing, Art Classes,  annual Christmas Monasterevin Youth Action Jumble Sale, Concerts, Strictly Dancing Competition, Family Parties and even a Wedding Reception.

The Centre is conveniently located at the junction of Main Street and Whelan’s Row and is available for all sorts of purposes.

Anyone wishing to use the Centre are invited to contact [email protected] or 0866075601
