Kilcloon Community Centre

06/06/2026

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

These photos capture a very special morning for Kilcloon.

Some members of the committee met with the construction team on site on Thursday morning, following the commencement of work on the new Kilcloon Community Centre earlier in the week.

There was a real sense of pride as this long-awaited project continues to take shape. After years of planning, dedication, and overcoming obstacles, it’s incredible to see the vision becoming a reality.

This centre has been a shared goal for so long, and now the journey from plans to bricks and mortar is well underway. We’re so excited to watch it grow in the months ahead.

It’s going to be a fantastic space for the entire community 💫

Delighted to announce:
Construction will commence on the Kilcloon Community Centre on Monday 23rd March.
Please be mindful of additional Construction traffic in the area for the duration of 12 months. Particular consideration is given to children and parents walking to and from schools and playground. The contractor has been made aware of our safety concerns in this regard and we must all play our part in public safety on the roads and footpaths. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
