Phase 2 will see the transformation of the Granary into a modern library facility, incorporating dedicated areas for adults and children, an exhibition and study space, meeting room, makers’ and robotics area, sensory room, podcasting studio, and the My Open Library service.

This development forms a key part of Tipperary County Council's wider regeneration strategy for Cahir. Further construction phases will follow on a staggered basis, including the restoration of the Market House façade to create a new business centre, and public realm and landscaping works throughout the Square, Castle Street, Church Street, Old Church Street, and St. Mary's Road.
