Hollyhill Library
City Architects Department
Constructed in 2015 the new library forms part of the ongoing regeneration of the Knocknaheeny area, and is located within the grounds of the Terence MacSwiney Community College, forming a new civic space at the crossroads of Harbour View Road, Courtown Drive and the proposed new road linking the Hollyhill town centre to the city centre via Baker’s Road and Cathedral Road.
New Civic Offices
