Kildare Development Centre to Expand with 4.8m Funding

An investment of €4.8 million has been announced for the National Child Development Centre in Kildare town, County Kildare. The money will allow construction work to resume on the Grey Abbey Road site, where the centre is being expanded to better serve children with additional needs.

The Sensational Kids organisation welcomed the funding as a positive step for children who require extra support. “This investment recognises the importance of providing dedicated spaces and resources for young people with special requirements,” said a spokesperson from the charity.

Construction on the Grey Abbey Road site had been paused, but the new funding is expected to restart work in the coming months. The expansion will increase capacity and improve facilities, although specific details about the layout or timeline have not yet been released.

Local media outlets including KFM, Kildare Nationalist, Kildare Live and kfmradio.com have reported on the announcement, highlighting the community’s interest in the project. For more details, see reports from KFM, Kildare Nationalist, Kildare Live and kfmradio.com.
