My Department are aware of proposals for the provision of a swimming pool in Maynooth, County Kildare.
There are no funds, including national lottery moneys, at my Department's disposal to assist a project of this nature. The provision of public bathing facilities is not a matter for my Department and would fall more properly for consideration within the ambit of the Department of the Environment.
