A landmark day for Kilcloon Community centre

Tuesday, 2nd June marked a hugely significant milestone in the journey towards a new Community Centre as we officially turned the sod on this exciting project.
This achievement is the result of years of dedication, perseverance, and hard work by our long-serving committee, whose commitment to the vision of a community centre for Kilcloon has brought us to this moment. We extend our sincere thanks to every committee member, past and present, who has played a role in getting the project to this stage.
We were delighted to be joined for the occasion by Councillors Caroline O'Reilly and Maria Murphy, along with Meath Helen McEntee, Gillian Toole and Thomas Byrne and the Minister for Rural and Community Development Dara Calleary. Their support and presence on the day were greatly appreciated as we celebrated the beginning of construction.
The turning of the sod represents far more than the start of building works—it marks the beginning of a new chapter for Kilcloon. The community centre will provide a welcoming space for people of all ages, supporting community activities, events, recreation, and connection for generations to come.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this project along the way. We look forward to sharing updates as construction progresses and bringing this long-held community ambition to life.
