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

Under the local authority swimming pool programme, administered by my Department, Bray Town Council applied for funding for the provision of a replacement swimming pool in Bray and Wicklow County Council applied for funding to provide a new pool in Greystones. I approved the preliminary reports for both of these projects in May of this year. These approvals allow Bray Town Council and Wicklow County Council to have the contract documents prepared for these projects, which will be considered further when this documentation is provided.
