Education and Community
Facilities
Responsibility for the provision of educational facilities rests
mainly with the North Eastern Education and Library Board (NEELB).
The NEELB currently provide a library within the Town and access to
nine mobile libraries which serve the Education Boards rural area.
There is one community centre within Greenisland as well as five
youth organisations operating out of a variety of venues such as
church halls and youth centres.
The Department considers that the flexibility of the Plan is such
that any need for future sites for community use can be accommodated
during the Plan period.
