Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 March 2004
338 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism further to Parliamentary Question No. 137 of 25 February 2004, the sources of the 55 applications for funding mentioned; the status of each of the applications; the number and location of further applications received since the closing date on 31 July 2000; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9586/04]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, there are four stages leading to the provision of a pool, namely, preliminary report, contract documents, tender approval and construction. Each stage of the process is subject to the approval of the Department.
The locations and current status of the applications in question are set out in the following statement. The list refers to applications that were received and accepted into the local authority swimming pool programme prior to 31 July 2000, the final date for submission under the current round. A further eight projects were submitted by local authorities after 31 July 2000, but could not be processed as they were received after the final date for submission. These projects were located in Douglas and Mitchelstown in Cork City and County, respectively, Kells and Trim in County Meath, Roxboro in Limerick City, Portnoo in County Donegal and Cloghran in County Dublin. One replacement project in Monaghan town was accepted into the programme after the closing date as an exceptional measure because the local authority pool closed for safety reasons in 2001.
