New Finglas Library Set to Open in 2022

A local rep has welcomed the news that the new Finglas library will be open by January 2022.

Plans to replace the old Finglas library were presented to Dublin City Council today.

The existing library is over 40 years old and according to councillors in the region, it has become too expensive to maintain. 

The council plans to open the library on a phased basis, with a smaller facility set to be operational on the Seamus Ennis site ahead of the full opening. 

When it's complete, the new library will be three times bigger than the previous facility. 

Independent Councillor, Noeleen Reilly, said it was long overdue to replace the old library:

"The new library is a long time coming and it is great to see this new development moving forward.

"Dublin City Council has recently purchased the site from An Post.  

"The current facilities are widely used but it is dated and is not suitable for the older community or people with disabilities."

Construction is expected to get underway in July 2021, with a view to being completed by the following January.
