Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
466 Mr. O’Connor asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if progress is being made towards the provision of the long awaited swimming pool planned by South Dublin County Council in Tallaght west; if he will outline contacts he has maintained; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11411/04]
View answerSouth Dublin County Council has applied for approval of contract documents for a proposed new swimming pool in Jobstown in west Tallaght under the local authority swimming pool programme. The council has also applied for grant aid for the replacement of the swimming pool at Clondalkin. The contract documents for both of these projects are under consideration in my Department.
There are four principal stages in the local authority swimming pool programme, namely, preliminary report, contract documents, tender approval and construction. Each stage of the process is subject to the approval of my Department and grant aid is only allocated to a project when the tender documents have been approved.
