Fingal County Council- Where has all the money gone?

Corsendonk · 2011-04-27 17:21:09

Just looking around Fingal I can't help noticing the number of FCC projects that seem to have stalled or shelved, the sports stadium in Lusk, the conversion of Martins shop in Rush etc. I am sure other posters have examples in their immediate area to add. What I want to know is where has all the money earmarked for these…

This issue has been discussed on this thread already and yes people did suggest that the book fund was too high and we should focus on donations. This is completely impractical. The fact that the libraries operated on a budget of ~€8m this year with ~€4m going to "outside support services" is, for me personally, something that should be seriously looked at before reducing the bookfund again.

What is captured under "outside support services"?

I honestly don't know.

I'm bowing out of this thread now as I don't want anyone to think that I'm some sort of official library rep. I'm not. I'm just speaking from my own experience and giving a personal opinion.
