Petition To Turn Old Fire Station In Maynooth Into Community Hub Gathers Momentum

Councillor Angela Feeney says funding must be found, and a feasibility study will determine whether the fire station can be repurposed or if a new building will be required.

Maynooth is a growing town of more than 17,000 people - but it still has no community centre.

A campaign is underway to turn the old fire station site, due to become available later this year, into a community hub.

Labour councillor Angela Feeney says the petition will help strengthen the case. 

She said it is “ridiculous” that residents have to pay hotels to host events or performances.

The petition is available on Change.org and on the Maynooth Notice Board on Facebook.
