Carlow and Kilkenny receive just over €10 million in funding for library services
Carlow and Kilkenny receive just over €10 million in funding for library services.
Local Fine Gael TD, John Paul Phelan welcomes the news “I’m delighted to see [funding] set aside for both Carlow and Kilkenny. This money will be matched with local authority funds in both counties.”
The funding from dormant bank accounts was announced by Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD. This funding will go towards 'The Library is the Place' programme - a new five year strategy designed to support and strengthen the public library network.
