The allocation which has been made for Waterford is in respect of the provision of a 400 metre synthetic running track to complement the large sports centre which has been built at Kilbarry, Waterford. My Department will be writing to the Waterford Corporation at the earliest possible date setting out the conditions for the expenditure of this allocation.
