The Value for Money and Policy Review Report of the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme is being finalised at present. The Report is examining, among other things, how the programme has worked to date, what has been achieved and what changes, if any, are required to ensure its effective and efficient delivery.
Following consideration of the recommendations, it is my intention to publish the Report and to launch a new round of the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme. Until such time as the recommendations are assessed and implemented, it is not possible to indicate what savings, if any, might arise in the administration of the programme. There is a provision of €184m in the National Development Plan, 2007-2013 in respect of the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme.
