Local authorities were asked 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 most recent submission, Kerry County Council has listed seven projects for consideration, with a new branch library at Shanakill-Rathoonane, Tralee, as its third priority. The priority lists from local authorities are being considered in the light of available capital and other commitments and proposals on hand. I hope to be in a position to announce details of new library projects to be approved for funding shortly.
