No current plans for a new library in Templeogue

THERE are “no current plans” for the development of a new library to serve Templeogue, Greenhills and Perrystown, according to South Dublin County Council.

The topic was raised at an area committee meeting last month by Cllr Lilian Gueret (FF), who asked if the council had plans for a development of this nature.

In response, the council stated: “While there are no current plans for a library for the area in question, preliminary planning work for future developments, i.e., analysis of our current network coverage, has commenced.

“The process will be led by the County Development Plan and influenced by the requirements to maintain and refurbish our current network.

“Other factors to be considered include geographical area and population, location of next nearest library service, social impact, project complexity, potential for external funding, and range of ultimate cost.”
