Main Street, Aughrim

What’s proposed

demolition of existing cottage library building and building a new public library comprising a double height single story room of books including a mezzanine floor with desks and study places, adult reading spaces, teenage library spaces and children's library, a small story telling theatre, and part basement at the South end of the new building for library IT and electrical services taking up space caused by the fall of ground across the site. Because of proximity of the site to fish tanks, fish runs and the River Aughrim a preliminary flood risk assessment by reference to OPW Flood Maps has determined that the site is not subject to flooding
