Ceist:50 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for Education if the Government intends to make any firm decision in relation to the provision of a 50 metre swimming pool in Ireland prior to 1 February 1996. [1639/96]
Written Answers. - Swimming Pool Provision.
As I outlined in my reply of 23 November 1996 proposals for the provision of a 50 metre swimming pool are under consideration in my Department. 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.
