REPLY:

"The tender for the North Clondalkin Library project is scheduled to issue in February 2018 with construction likely to commence in March. The construction period should be approximately 15 months. Public consultation advised against the provision of car parking on adjoining streets and the inclusion of two speed ramps. Car parking on Collinstown Avenue is under review. A playspace for small children is included in a realigned garden attached to the childrens' space in the library. Public consultation  recommended against the inclusion of a public playground in the existing open space to avoid anti-social behaviour".
