Mayor inspects library progress

Cotinued from front page Dublin City Librarian, Mairead Owens said, “This project is delivering on the ambition to provide a new community library for the people of Finglas with free, open and universally accessible space for all. The new library should also contribute positively to the regeneration strategy for Finglas village in a way that will assist the transformation of the centre of Finglas through the creation of a strong civic focal point for the area.”

The project includes external landscaping to the front of the library. Louise Cotter of project architects Cotter and naessens said, “The front lawn has been reconfigured to provide a pocket park with a new seating hub and a gently sloped pathway set in landscaped grounds.

“The access solution proposed is integrated into a landscape proposal whereby a gentle approach is threaded through the green space.”
