Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism (Mr. O’Donoghue)

Kilkenny Borough Council applied for funding under the local authority swimming pool programme in respect of a proposed replacement swimming pool for Kilkenny and the Department's technical advisors found the preliminary report to be satisfactory. However, I am advised that Kilkenny Borough Council has decided on an alternative site to that originally proposed and a revised preliminary report based on the new location is awaited.
