To ask the Chief Executive, if there are any plans for the building of any new libraries in South County Dublin.

REPLY:

South Dublin Libraries current branch network consists of 6 full-time branches of varying size and age and one small, part-time branch in Palmerstown. In addition, our mobile library service operates across the county, serving a catchment population of around 10,000 people through the public stop timetable. In addition, the mobile library service delivers housebound services and visits to schools, creches, nursing homes, and other facilities. There are also two satellite services, Think Big Space in Tallaght, and Stewart’s Library in Palmerstown.
