Maynooth Community Council

Maynooth Community Council Caitriona Fitzpatrick

Earlier this year Maynooth Community Council (MCC) decided that upgrading our website would be a priority for 2020. Little did we know at the start of the year how much we would all turn to online for so many things in our lives that we previously took for granted.

We had a vision of having all aspects of life in Maynooth located in one online facility and as an easily accessible resource for the whole community. Because of the pandemic, we have accelerated our desire to make this a reality and just over a month ago www.maynoothtown.ie went live. While there is still much work to be done and more information to be included, we are delighted that we have already pulled together a vast amount of information about our town, our community, our schools, our university, our businesses, our sports clubs and our history. We have observed the number of international visitors to the website over the past few weeks and our intention is to grow the website into a significant and ever expanding facility that opens up our town not only to our community but to the world at large. 2020 has been a year like no other, and one that won’t be forgotten for a long time. We want our town and our community to come through this pandemic as unscathed as possible and to ensure that all the necessary resources to aid the recovery are made available to our community. We intend to use our new website to promote and help our community in every way possible to do that. The website also features details of the Kildare County Council Covid Heroes portrait competition which an MCC member proudly features in.

We had a vision of having all aspects “ of life in Maynooth located in one online facility and as an easily accessible resource for the whole community.”

We would also urge all our community to use and add to this new resource which has the potential to make so much available to us and showcase our town at the click of a mouse!

We want our our community to come “ through this pandemic as unscathed as possible and ensure that all necessary resources to aid recovery are made available...”

So if you want to: • Showcase and advertise your business • Promote an event or activity • Connect with the Community, • Write an article on the history of Maynooth or other issues that might be of interest to the community
