In Kildare, we have 250,000 people and two public swimming pools. Essentially, I do not understand the rationale for how these get funded if it is not based on population. They are very expensive to run. They are loss-making or they just about break even, but it is critical. Other counties have double the number and half the population. It is crazy-----
