With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 43, 44 and 45 together.
Proposals from Dublin Corporation for the construction of indoor, heated swimming pools, measuring 25 metres long, 9.5 metres wide and 3 to 6 feet deep, at Ballyfermot, Finglas and Ballymun are under examination in my Department.
I am aware of the urgent need for swimming pools in these areas — in fact, last March I approved in principle of the provision of pools in Ballyfermot and Finglas—and a decision on these proposals, which were received in my Department on the 9th February and for which supporting documentation was submitted on the 23rd idem, will be given as soon as possible.
