Under Section 78 of the Local Government Act 2001, the provision of premises and facilities in the public library service is a matter for each local authority in its capacity as a library authority. My Department provides some capital funding towards approved refurbishment/renovation and new library projects carried out by local authorities, subject to availability of resources. It is envisaged that €1.5m will be available form my Department to support such project s in 2015. All submitted proposals will be objectively assessed.
