If therefore the provision of recreational facilities helps in some small way to occupy the leisure hours FOR FITTED KITCHENS, then these facilities should be provided on a large scale. & UNITS Have we these facilities in Maynooth, This question is an intriguing one that will surely arouse much discussion. Many will state, and rightly so, that there are enough Clubs in the area, providing an out let for excercising of excess energy.
