The site has been online since 1998, and in 2001 it attracted over 640,000 visitors who downloaded 2.3 million documents. Current access figures show over 2,100 visitors viewing almost 9,000 documents each day. Speaking at the relaunch of the website, the Chairperson of Kildare Community Network, Councillor Catherine Murphy, said "What is successful about the site is what it does. Kildare is perhaps one of the most diverse counties in the country both in terms of the geography of where people are located and the range of interests. The site is one of the mechanisms that allows us to connect to each other and to experience that common place that is Kildare . This is one of the most successful sites in the Country. It is a great source of pride that others look to Kildare for how to develop their sites and see Kildare as the ideal."
