Local authorities were asked in 2004 to review their capital programmes for library development and to submit a prioritised list of proposals which they wished to have considered by my Department in its current review of the programme. In its submission, Kildare County Council has listed five projects for consideration in the following order of priority: mobile library vehicle; school library van; Kildare town library; Newbridge; and Maynooth. The review is ongoing in my Department but I hope to be in a position shortly to announce details of the projects to be included for funding in an expenditure programme for 2005-2007.
