MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 23

QUESTION: Councillor K. Mahon

"To ask the Chief Executive to provide a comprehensive explanation as to why library services at Castletymon were unexpectedly closed for a period in August and what steps need to be taken to ensure a continuity of service?" The library service in the area is an indespensible facility.

REPLY:

Castletymon Library was closed on Saturday 6th August due to staff availability. The decision was made after considering that Castletymon Library had the least number of expected visitors on that day (average visitors on a Saturday in August is approximately 80 – 100 people) and also the fact that this library is in close proximity to the County Library. (bus service available).
