Location

Kilcock is a service centre for the north Kildare/south Meath area and is a relatively compact town with a medieval street pattern. It is situated 33km from Dublin adjacent to the M4 motorway. The nearby university town of Maynooth is approximately 4km to the east. Given the excellent road and rail connections to Kilcock, it is likely the town will continue to grow and develop as a thriving suburb.

Many large employers have established their base in Kildare with Intel Ireland at Leixlip and the Kerry Group in Naas. These companies are now major contributors to the performance of the local and Irish economy.

The site is close to a great selection of local schools including St. Joseph's National School, Scoil Choca Naofa, St. Mary's Boys National School, Presentation Girls' School. Maynooth Post-Primary School and Maynooth Community College have an enviable reputation locally and nationally. National University of Ireland Maynooth and St Patrick's College, Ireland's pontifical university are also a short drive away.

The site is very well positioned on the R148 to the east of the town centre with all amenities at its doorstep including the train station.

Warehousing and other light industrial uses will generally not be encouraged within the town centre.
