Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Mary Coughlan)

My Department's capital funding is made available for school and college buildings. Funding is not available from my Department for investment in the refurbishment of swimming pools, such as the one referred to by the Deputy, which are not part of school or college facilities.
