David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for his reply. Given what he has said, does it mean there is approximately €3 million left to be spent this year on the swimming pool programme? Will the Minister say whether this money will be spent on new pools or on the maintenance and refurbishment of older pools, or both? Will the Minister provide some information on the expenditure review currently under way in his Department associated with the swimming pool programme? When did the review begin, who initiated it, who is carrying it out, and when does he expect it to be completed?
