Under the current library capital expenditure programme, 2002-04, it is envisaged that Donegal County Council will receive grant aid of approximately €590,430 for the provision of a new branch library in Bundoran. Preliminary proposals for this library are currently being examined in my Department. Also under the programme, Donegal County Council has received approval to accept a tender of €30,042 for a new library delivery van.
