New polytunnels for gardening may be on the way for this County Kildare site

Ciaran Mather, 8 Jul

A planning permission application currently with Kildare County Council

shows that new polytunnels are being sought for University College

Dublin (UCD)'s Lyons Farm in Celbridge.

UCD Lyons Farm is seeking permission for the construction of two

medium-sized polytunnels and two small-sized polytunnels, which would

be used for research purposes.

Permission is also being sought for all associated site works.

The date received is listed as July 4 last.

The submission-by and due dates are listed as August 7 and August 28

respectively.

According to UCD's official website: the UCD Lyon's Farm is the

teaching and research facility operated by UCD, around 30 kilometres

west of the main UCD Campus at Belfield.

It was purchased by UCD back in 1963 and consists of approximately 250

hectares.
