The development of Portlaoise Library is supported by my Department under the Libraries Capital Investment Programme 2016-2021.  Under the programme, my Department has allocated a contribution of €1.65million towards the overall cost of the proposed development.

No funding has been drawn down by Laois County Council to date in respect of this project.  However, work has commenced on the development of the project and it is expected that funds will be drawn down by Laois County Council on a phased basis over the period 2018-2019.
