Another Kildare estate to be taken in charge
Áras Chill Dara in Naas
Primrose Garden in Naas is to be taken in charge by Kildare County Council, meaning that that the local authority will assume responsibility for public infrastructure in the estate.
This was agreed at the November meeting of Naas Municipal District, where criticism was aimed at the developer who left the estate unfinished.
Cllr Fintan Brett noted that €300,000 of taxpayers’ money was spent on the project to rectify the “mess” left by the developer.
He said the developer “should not be allowed to build in this county ever again”.
Senior executive engineer Liam McNeela said that Local Property Tax funding was crucial in getting the work done, while funding from Uisce Éireann helped with the completion of the estate.
The issues with the estate have been ongoing for around twenty years.
Cathaoirleach Bill Clear thanked council officials for their “hard work” after a “long, long road” towards getting the estate taken in charge.
