No. There should be an objective resource allocation based on criteria. It is useful that the Department is now mapping sporting facilities. That is useful, but the overlay on that map is the point. Population has to matter. There are whole new areas in, for example, Fingal. Area after area has just houses. We are only storing up trouble if we do not balance housing development with other developments, and swimming pools are a critical piece of that. That is my soapbox for today.
