CluneTech Seeks Approval for $10 Million Kilkenny HQ Today

BREAKING NEWS: CluneTech Investments 1 Ltd has just announced plans to construct a new eight-storey headquarters in Kilkenny, signaling a significant investment of $10 million in the region. The proposed site is located at the IDA Business & Technology Park on Ring Road, Loughboy, and aims to enhance the company’s operational capabilities.

The application, submitted earlier today, includes not only the eight-storey office building but also various ancillary facilities such as a single-storey facilities management store, secure bicycle shelter, ESB substation, refuse store, and two external meeting pods. This ambitious project is designed to accommodate CluneTech’s growing workforce while promoting sustainability and innovation.

WHY THIS MATTERS: As CluneTech continues to make strides in technology solutions, this new headquarters reflects the company’s commitment to improving business practices globally. CEO Terry Clune emphasizes that this development will serve as a hub for technological innovation, supporting entrepreneurial leaders and fostering new businesses.

The building will also feature rooftop amenity terraces and landscaped areas, contributing to a modern work environment. Additionally, the plan includes enhancements to local infrastructure, such as new vehicular entrances from the existing IDA park road network, car parking, and pedestrian pathways, promoting accessibility for employees and visitors alike.

NEXT STEPS: The planning application is now under review by local authorities. Community feedback and potential approvals are expected in the coming weeks. CluneTech’s expansion is not just a win for the company but also represents a broader economic boost for Kilkenny, creating new job opportunities and enhancing the local business landscape.

In a cover letter accompanying the application, CluneTech stated, “This project represents a significant investment in Kilkenny and embodies our values of innovation, sustainability, and forward-thinking design.”

This development aligns with CluneTech’s legacy, which began in 1996 when Terry Clune founded Taxback Group to assist students in reclaiming overpaid taxes. Now, rebranded as CluneTech in 2021, the company has evolved into a leader in technological solutions, recognized for excellence in customer care and workplace culture.

As this story develops, it promises to impact the local economy and community. Stay tuned for updates on the planning approval process and what this means for Kilkenny’s future as a tech hub.
