Mr. Cian ? Lion?in:

I will get back to the Deputy with the decision-making criteria used at the time. That was back in 2018 and 2019. Going forward and looking at a new round of the large scale sport infrastructure fund, LSSIF, we will certainly take the points the Deputy raised on board. We will also look at the infrastructure map developed by Sport Ireland and we will take cognisance of what is emerging from the national swimming strategy. If it is okay with the Deputy, I will ask my colleague, Mr. Ó Conaire, to give a very quick update on where the swimming strategy is because it is very important for the development of swimming and for the facilities.
