Saturday May 23rd (10:30am to 1:30pm)
Maynooth Town Football Club, Newtown, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Eircode W23 R302
We are very pleased to confirm that as of Monday February 9th, 2026 the hosting of Kildare Public Participation Network officially and successfully transitioned from CKLP to the newly formed independent entity, Kildare PPN CLG.
This milestone marks the culmination of years of dedicated work, careful planning, collaboration, and commitment from many volunteers across our network.
We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming Kildare Public Participation Network (PPN) Plenary Meeting, taking place in Maynooth Town Football Club.
For members who are new to Kildare PPN, the Plenary is similar to that of an AGM, a chance for all member groups to come together, hear updates, and help shape the direction of the PPN for the year ahead.
After the meeting (and a light lunch), attendees are invited to join local project visits around Maynooth, including heritage sites, community initiatives, and local environmental projects.
We would love to see as many of our member groups as possible at this event. Your participation is vital in ensuring the PPN remains a strong and active voice for communities in Kildare.
If you have any questions or require further information, feel free to contact us.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Kildare PPN Secretariat.
