The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys today announced a major investment of over €25 million in our Public Library Service across the country. The investment includes the delivery of 11 new library buildings across the country, along with 12 new Next Generation mobile library vehicles. Monaghan County Council proposes to conserve, refurbish the Market House, Main Street, Ballybay into a modern public community library facility.
This landmark building on the lower part of Main Street, is a detached four-bay two storey former market house. This proposal for The Market House, which is currently transferring into Monaghan County Council ownership will bring back into active use an existing derelict listed historical building with the refurbishment of the building over three floors with lift access to ensure that all areas of the building are fully accessible,
