The provision of library services, including the provision of library buildings, is primarily a matter for local authorities in their capacity as library authorities under the Local Government Act 2001. Accordingly, the provision of an extension to Carlow County Library is a matter for Carlow County Council.
The response provided to PQ 2613/24 on January 23rd, as quoted in the details submitted with this question, is still the most recent information available for the Carlow Town project. However, I wish to advise that the announcement of details of the projects that have been approved for funding under the Libraries Capital Programme is now scheduled for Q2 2024.
