In January 2004, 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 overall review of the Programme. In its submission, Fingal County Council listed Rush as joint third. In October last year, I announced funding for thirteen library projects. Due to the existing level of commitments under the Public Library Capital Programme, it was not possible to provide funding for this project at that time. This position will be kept under review in the light of capital available for the library programme.
