Thing is the rules have changed and the only genuine independent I know of personally in kildare is Emma Sweet.
I would not punt anywhere but Dublin city centre now as premises in towns around kildare and meath can cause quite a stir.
My rationale is that Gardai have enough to be doing in Dublin with gang violence, drugs and the like and the footfall is so much more substantial in Dublin that I believe the chance of a raid is lower.
My last 3 appointments have been in Dublin and I felt quite comfortable.
Good luck out there.
