The Library Project referred to is the Junior Cycle Schools Programme (JCSP) Demonstration Library Project.

My Department is not currently accepting any new applications for the JCSP. The JCSP will be subject to a review at a future date when a substantial proportion of the new Framework for Junior Cycle is in place.
