In January 2004, local authorities were asked to review their capital programmes for library development and to submit a prioritised list of proposals which they wished to have considered by my Department in its current review of the programme. In its submission, Cork County Council has listed Mitchelstown fourth in order of 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 2005-2007.
