My Department issued a Circular letter in August 2008 notifying Local Authorities of a new Capital Funding Programme for Libraries and inviting library authorities to submit priority lists for consideration for grant aid under this Programme. South Dublin County Council indicated that the Ballyroan project is its second priority for funding and this application together with those received from other library authorities is currently under consideration. I hope to be in a position to announce a list of projects to be included in the new Library Capital Programme 2008-2012 in the near future.
