Public can share opinions online until 2nd November & at a drop-in event on 19th October

A public information event will take place next week, on the second phase of public consultation process for the Curragh Plains.

According to Kildare County Council and the Department of Defence - who commenced the second phase - the project is "about highlighting the importance and significance of the Curragh Plains and developing policies and management actions that will make sure the area is appropriately conserved, managed, maintained and interpreted."

The second phase will  be focused on "draft policies in the Conservation Management Plan and draft proposals for the Interpretation and Wayfinding Plan". 

In March & April of last year, a preliminary public consultation exercise was undertaken helping to "establish an understanding of what aspects of the Curragh Plains are important and why."

Approximately 3,700 responses were received.

Members of the public can 'have their say' by sharing opinions & views through an online survey, open now until the 2nd November.

A “drop-in” public consultation event will be held at the Curragh racecourse, on Tuesday 19th of October between 4 & 8pm.
