Vol. 231 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions (Resumed). - Swimming Pools.

21.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state in respect of each county the number of proposals awaiting sanction in his Department for swimming pools; the total amount involved in each case; the dates on which the proposals were received in his Department; and when he expects to sanction the various proposals.

As the reply includes a tabular statement, I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated in the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

NOTES

(i) The dates on which firm proposals for these pools were received in the Department range from May, 1962 to August, 1967. In some cases the proposals now current are in replacement of previous proposals and it would not be feasible to say when exactly the definitive proposal was received.

(ii) Swimming pool proposals are kept under review in conjunction with the overall capital requirements of local authorities. No indication could be given at this stage when any particular proposal might be sanctioned.
