Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2010
381 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Science if her Department will make provision for the reopening and maintenance of the swimming pool at a premises (details supplied) in Dublin 7 which caters for students at the special school funded by her Department in view of the fact that swimming is a core part of the students’ curriculum.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe priority for my Department is to apply all capital funding allocated to it for school and college buildings. It has no role to play in resourcing privately owned and managed facilities, including swimming pools. The Deputy may wish to pursue this matter with the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism, which is responsible for the disbursement of the sports capital grant, and/or the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
