Vol. 470 No. 1

Written Answers. - Campbell Report Publication.

Liam Lawlor

Ceist:

205 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Education if she will publish the Campbell report in full in order to allow for a fully informed discussion on the matter in view of public comments that the proposals contained in the report in respect of the 50 metre swimming pool have been made public intermittently; whether the proposals contained in the report will be likely to attract EU funding; whether she has finally rejected the ISHOF/DISC proposals in this regard; and, if so, the reason therefor. [18279/96]

The principal features of the Campbell report have already been made widely available and extensive consultations have taken place with interested parties on all aspects of the report. Copies of the report are available from my Department. Formal publication would involve unnecessary additional design and printing costs.

As part if its comprehensive review of Irish sport, the sport strategy working group is examining the question of the provision of a 50 metre swimming pool. The group is due to complete its work later this year. It is expected that a decision on the provision of a 50 metre pool, including the ISHOF/DISC proposals will be made following consideration of the strategy group's proposals and the detailed funding implications and possibilities associated with the provision of such a facility.
