View answerIn 2010 a grant of €0.648m was allocated towards the much-needed refurbishment of the De Paul Swimming Pool, St. Vincent`s Centre, Navan Road, Dublin 7. In 2013 this grant was increased to €1.261m.
The completion of legalities was required before the this project could commence. I'm pleased to inform the Deputy that the legalities have been concluded and the Department has been informed by the grantee that it is expected that the builder will be on site to commence construction in mid May.
