The works referred to in the correspondence are not funded under the Sports Capital Programme and the Local Authority Swimming Pools Programme is not open for applications.
Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and coordination of sport. Sport Ireland provides an annual subsidy to the University of Limerick for the operation of the 50 metre pool. I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct response. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
