115. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the concerns related to building regulations and safety in a library (details supplied) in view of the important role a library plays in a third level institution that is a college of education and the humanities; if his Department will provide capital funding to aid the development of the library; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Department of Education and Skills has been made aware of the challenges faced by the third level institution in question with respect to its current library facilities.

There are many competing demands on the limited capital budget for higher education and the library development proposal will be considered within the context of competing demands.  I am not in a position to commit to a funding allocation at this point.
