Ceist:

89 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education the plans, if any, which exist for the provision of a 50 metre swimming pool in Ireland; if she has received representations from a committee (details supplied) in County Dublin regarding such a swimming pool; and if so, the response she has given this committee.

Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke)

A 50 metre swimming pool will be provided in the proposed national sports centre which is to be located on a 12 acre site at the North Wall in Dublin.

A decision has not yet been taken on an application received from the committee in question for an extension to their swimming pool.
