Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 April 2024
1723. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the current progress and eventual timeline for the provision of an extension for Carlow library (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14114/24]
View answerThe provision of library services, including the provision of library buildings, is primarily a matter for local authorities in their capacity as library authorities under the Local Government Act 2001. Accordingly, the provision of an extension to Carlow County Library is a matter for Carlow County Council.
The response provided to PQ 2613/24 on January 23rd, as quoted in the details submitted with this question, is still the most recent information available for the Carlow Town project. However, I wish to advise that the announcement of details of the projects that have been approved for funding under the Libraries Capital Programme is now scheduled for Q2 2024.
