Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 May 2010
103 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Health and Children if there are any funds available in her Department for the refurbishment of swimming pools as in the case of a pool (details supplied) in Dublin 7. [21233/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department does not provide funding for the refurbishment of swimming pools. However, capital grants are provided to local authorities to build and renovate public swimming pools through a scheme managed by the Department of Tourism, Culture & Sport. Civil groups and private organisations can apply through their local authority for funding under this scheme.
