As the Minister will be aware, I raised this issue with her previously. It potentially relates to a number of locations. I have a particular interest in the proposed library and youth centre that is proposed for the Mahon area in my constituency. When the library capital funding was announced late last year, there was approximately €100 million to be allocated over five years.

That will fund the local library service but there are also about 33 smaller projects. For the larger capital asks there is not a substantial amount left. Realistically, one project would take the amount that is left even though there are probably three or four potential projects that would require that funding.
