Under the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme there are four stages in a swimming pool project. These, in order of progress, are: Feasibility Study/Preliminary Report; Contract Documents; Tender and Construction. I understand that Donegal County Council has recently received a draft Preliminary Report on the swimming pool project from their consultants, which is under consideration, and that the finalised Preliminary Report is to be submitted to my Department in the next month.
The Council has also advanced the Part 8 Planning application for the project to the public consultation stage this month. I am advised that the strategy underlying the development of the project is to maximise the potential for the sharing of physical and management facilities with other sports organisations in the area.
