Local Councillor Charlie O’Connor recently enquired on the prospect of a future library for the Citywest area. “To ask the Chief Executive to confirm that plans are being progressed for the provision of a new Public Library in Citywest; will he appreciate the concerns of the local community that the Council would now honour the commitment given in the Fortunestown LAP; will he give assurances and make a statement?”
The reply received by the local Councillor entailed the following “As Members will be aware a report was brought to the July 2019 County Council meeting on library provision in the West of the County. The report recommended Rathcoole Village as a location for extension of Library Services to the West of the County. The report was agreed by the Members and is currently being developed in conjunction with a proposed larger development plan on Council owned land.”
