Written Answers. - 50 Metre Swimming Pool.
Revised proposals for the provision of a 50 metre pool, which have recently been received from the Dublin International Sports Council, are under consideration in my Department. The Minister of State at my Department recently met representatives of the Dublin International Sports Council and the International Swimming Hall of Fame to clarify issues on the project and further information in respect of their proposals has been sought.
A project of this scale requires very careful and detailed consideration before any decision can be made in the matter in view of the overall capital and operating costs involved. Because of its implications for Exchequer funding I am not in a position to say at this stage when a decision about the project can be made.
