Wall application in

The application for lowering the wall around the old convent is due for decision by 16 December.

The planning application was lodged to Kildare County Council on 22 October, and details how the wall will be lowered to 800mm high and topped with a railing.

The idea is that it will open to view the parkland area inside the wall, as well as making visible the old convent building.

The project includes making two recessed sections along the front, suitable for inserting seats.
