THE FIRST QUESTION for many when it comes to buying a home is: what’s in the neighbourhood?
For most, it’s a plus to be part of a thriving community – but also, to experience the beautiful Irish countryside. Families and other households need plenty of space, but also to be close to all the amenities they might want.
Walkers Gate, a new development coming soon from Glenveagh Homes just outside Kildare Town, may offer just the right balance.
With 187 two, three and four-bedroom homes on the plan and the first due to launch in spring 2022, it will add to the sense of community in a thriving town with a great buzz to it (and that’s just what the locals say). Transport links are second to none, thanks to the M7 on the doorstep and the train station a short walk from each home.
The location is also handy for some of Ireland’s best shopping, with the international designers of Kildare Village just three minutes away by car. But residents can also enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the Curragh, the Japanese Gardens or the fields of the National Stud.
For families Kildare Town itself offers a range of schools, not to mention an impressive array of sports clubs and all the supermarkets for your essentials. For anything else, Dublin is 50 minutes away by car – although those working from home will benefit from the fibre optic broadband infrastructure installed in each home from day one.
The homes themselves are designed to be bright and airy with an open-plan layout to suit a variety of lifestyles. Bedrooms and bathrooms are generously sized, while the contemporary kitchens by Gallaghers feature French doors opening to a patio space.
All of the homes are energy efficient with A-rated BER specifications to keep them cosy and comfortable, no matter what’s happening outdoors. And the development overall has been designed with environmental enhancements so that a green space to play, relax or experience nature is never far away.

All the 8th amendment does is harm women’s health. Replace it with legislation that treats pregnant women and girls as autonomous humans, not Tupperware containers. The rally for lies this Saturday will be interesting.
@DaisyChainsaw: I find these, while no doubt well meaning, a tad disturbing in that the more options and recommendations that are made, the more they’ll cherry pick from and ignore but still be able to quite legitimately say they followed the advice of the Citizens’ Assembly.
That all makes sense. Hopefull the Oireachtas implements the recommendations of the report.
@Daithí Ó Coinnigh: Kenny announced when the Assembly delivered not what was wanted (by the politicians in government) that there was another committee to be set up and ‘consider’ the Assmbly’s output – i.e. Water it down or even better – drag it into a dark alley, ignore it and bull ahead regardless.
Let women determine their own treatment options – NOT politicians!!!
If you’re going to explain the word consensus, don’t do so incorrectly. Consensus is where you arrive at something acceptable to all or the vast majority. Thus, these recommendations are acceptable to the vast majority of the assembly.
Are we going to need new jumpers with REPLACE on them instead?
@Fiachrá Ó Dubhthaigh: repealing and then creating legislation for this is the best way.
Ireland’s obsession with referendums for everything really needs to stop, the only way this can stop is us stopping adding everything to the constitution even when it doesn’t need to be in it.
Repeal! It’s their choice. We are all human and I have no right to tell another human how to live.
@Nicholas J Campbell: we are all human and we ALL have a RIGHT to live.
Just bring it in, make it available for anyone who plans on having one & get it over with.
Nicholas we are all human and we all have a RIGHT to live
There still wasting taxpayer money !
Women are tax payers too and their health deserve to be properly looked after
Nicholasjcampbell we are all human and we ALL have a right to live
The first thing I have to say is “When did 25% become a consensus”. The second thing is ” I believe that the Citizens Assembly is one of the most sexist groups I’ve ever come across. Have men and boys not got an equal right to control over their reproduction . Or any ! This assembly is so biased that it didn’t even mention condoms for boys and men.
This article is either poorly written, or the Citizen’s Assembly was all over the shop.
“These recommendations were arrived at via a consensus (ie a majority were in agreement) of the members’ responses.”
and then
“Between 15 and 20 members calling for a recommendation (roughly 25%) was taken to be consensus.”
If the latter is what they viewed as a consensus, then the must have only a cursory relationship with a dictionary.
“usually in singular: A general agreement.”
have your say
