The project is one of 33 local authority-led climate action projects announced

€299,600 in funding has been announced for a conservation masterplan for the Carton Avenue amenity lands in Maynooth.
 
The project is one of 33 local authority-led climate action projects announced by the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment, Darragh O'Brien TD, under the EU Just Transition Fund. 
 
The funding will allow Kildare County Council to prepare a conservation masterplan for the lands, developing the existing park and integrating biodiversity measures.
 
The Minister increased the overall fund from €30 million to €36 million because of the quality of projects submitted.
 
The START scheme is co-funded by the Government and the European Union through the EU Just Transition Fund.
 
Funded projects must help deliver local authority Climate Action Plans.
 
The Clane-Maynooth and Athy Municipal Districts form part of Ireland's EU Just Transition Territory, alongside counties Laois, Longford, Offaly, Westmeath and Roscommon and parts of Galway and Tipperary.
