A meeting will take place in Kilmeaden this evening to further discuss concerns for a proposed data centre in the local area.

Crag Rathnew DC Limited aims to construct a data centre on the site of the iconic former cheese factory in the village which has prompted huge opposition locally.

This evening’s meeting will be held at The Sweep Bar at 6pm.

Local resident Niall Power from Kilmeaden Against Industrialisation campaign group outlined more on Deise Today.

There has been huge opposition to the proposal since details emerged in September 2025.

This has included public meetings and demonstrations, including a large march through Kilmeaden in April of this year.
