asked the Minister for Local Government if the swimming pool at the Willie Pearse Memorial Park, Crumlin, which has been approved by his Department, is likely to be proceeded with; if the proposal by the school authorities at Saint Mary's School of the Blind, Merrion, to provide a pool has been proceeded with; and if there are any other proposals for the provision of swimming pools in Dublin city.

I understand that the corporation will proceed with the provision of a swimming pool at Crumlin and that they are considering the provision of pools in six other areas in the city. In the case of the pool for Crumlin, I am awaiting the submission by the corporation of revised plans at reduced cost.
I have approved of the making of a contribution by the corporation towards the provision of a pool at St. Mary's School and Home for the Blind, Merrion, and I understand that the proposal is being proceeded with.
I am informed that Dublin Corporation are prepared to contribute to voluntary groups providing swimming pools sums not exceeding in toto £100,000 in any one year. Contributions by Dublin City or County Councils towards other pools provided by voluntary bodies have been approved or are receiving consideration in three cases, namely:—The Marian College, Ballsbridge, St. Mary's School for the Deaf, Cabra; and St. John of God Day School, Islandbridge.
Could the Minister indicate where are the other six places he mentioned earlier in his reply?
I am afraid I have not got them at the moment.
