asked the Minister for Local Government if he will regard favourably an application for a grant for the provision of a heated indoor swimming pool with accommodation for spectators for Drogheda; if he will state the usual percentage of costs which such grants command; and if access to the Local Loans Fund would ordinarily be available for the provision of the balance.

There is no proposal before me for the provision of a swimming pool at Drogheda. An application from the Corporation for sanction to borrowing for the purpose would be considered, subject to submission and approval of plans etc. of the project. Subsidy at the rate of 50 per cent would be available from my Department towards the annual loan charges on any loan sanctioned.
