My Department funds the Libraries Capital Programme that will invest around €29m in 18 projects, as well as the My Open Library initiative. In 2018 the Department provided almost €250,000 under the programme to Kerry County Council for the purchase of a new mobile library. It is not possible to fund a second mobile library for Kerry County Council under the Libraries Capital Programme as it is currently fully committed.
My Department also recently approved €100,000 under its Small Scale Capital Works Programme and €21,180 under its Library Supports for Marginalised, Socially Excluded and Disadvantaged Communities for projects in Kerry.
