Celbridge
The new library, which will be developed at the parochial house in Celbridge, will be closed to religious and political events.
Kildare County Council says this is because of a provision in the guidelines surrounding the use of public library meeting rooms.
The council was responding to a request from Cllr Vanessa Liston that the council “include a dedicated space for municipal district business and constituent meetings in the plans”
for the parochial house.
The guidelines state that ‘’libraries are a democratic space and should not be used for events with a political or religious agenda or anything perceived as such by any fair-minded person.’’
This means it would be “inappropriate to provide a dedicated space for municipal district business and constituent meetings.”
