MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, February 20, 2019

MOTION NO.  14

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That this Committee asks the Chief Executive for an update on previous motions and questions on a proposed Library and how this can be achieved that would serve the growing areas of Newcastle, Rathcoole and Saggart.  What can be done to progress this much needed facility and what would be the estimated time frame?"

REPORT:

"There is provision in SDCC 3 Year Capital Programme 2019 - 2021 to undertake a feasibility study of library service in the west of the county. It is anticipated that this research will be carried out in 2019 and the information gathered will inform projected library service for the county which may include library service to Newcastle, Rathcoole and Saggart. The provision of additional libraries requires a major commitment in resources, both in terms of capital investment, staff, and day-to-day running costs. The current capital projects include libraries in North Clondalkin and Castletymon, Tallaght."
