Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 May 2004
380 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will report on correspondence received by his Department regarding plans for a much-needed library in Rush, County Dublin; and if he will report on the progress being made with regard to this proposal to date. [15195/04]
View answerIn January 2004, my Department wrote to all library authorities asking them to review their capital programmes for library development, to indicate their order of priority and to provide estimates of costs and commencement dates for each project listed. All authorities have responded to this request. In its submission, Fingal County Council indicated the proposed library for Rush/Skerries as its third priority.
Based on the submissions received, my Department's review of the public library capital projects is at an advanced stage with a view to finalising a public library capital expenditure programme for 2005-07.
