Faulty boiler closes library

City officials have insisted that they are working flat out to reopen a public library which has been forced to close because of a faulty boiler.

Cork City Council confirmed it hopes to carry out repairs to the boiler that fires the heating system at the Mayfield branch as quickly as possible.

However, it has warned that the repair job will be costly and complex and that the library, on the northside of the city, will remain closed for as long as the cold snap continues.
