Amharc ar fhreagraThe proposal to refurbish Portarlington swimming pool is one of a number of swimming pool projects within the local authority swimming pool programme under consideration at present. There are four stages in the programme — preliminary report, contract document, tender approval and construction. The contract documents, submitted by Laois County Council for the Portarlington project, are being considered in the context of allowing the Council to invite tenders for the work proposed, taking into account the funding available in the Department's multi-annual capital envelope for the local authority swimming pool programme.
