Report to outline implications of vote not to relocate public library

CORK’S city manager will present a report to councillors tonight on stalled plans to provide a new public library on the city’s northside.

Joe Gavin is expected to outline the implications of a contentious council vote last month not to proceed with the relocation of the outdated St Mary’s Road library to a nearby suburban shopping centre.

Councillors has agreed in July 2008 to relocate the facility and build a modern replacement library.
