Castlebar Swimming Pool is in the 2000 round of the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme. In October 2015, Mayo County Council was given a formal allocation of €3.8m for the replacement swimming pool. In addition, a Sports Capital Programme allocation of €3.9m was approved for dry facilities. The project is being managed by Mayo County Council and construction commenced in 2016. I am informed by Mayo County Council that construction is almost complete, with fit out by the Council commencing this week. According to the Council, total expenditure on the project to date has been approximately €11.2m and of this €6,656,658 has been reimbursed by my Department. The new facility is expected to be open early in 2019.
