This Day in Local History

Local fact
Kildare fact 256: Maynooth sits inside the Kildare County Council orbit; western commuter towns and university-linked growth connect to the wider belt by routes such as the M7. It is part of the Good Morning Dublin Belt coverage map because its daily life is tied to Dublin jobs, schools, transport and services. This is the leap-year reserve entry for the local fact calendar.
Until tomorrow morning Have a lovely day.
