On the 19 July 2011, I announced a Public Library Capital Programme which included provision for the supply of a mobile library to Co. Waterford. The allocation for the Co. Waterford mobile library was €190,000 with an additional €50,000 for bookstock as this mobile was a new service. The mobile could not be procured on time by the end of 2011.

This project can be reconsidered in 2012.
