John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Fianna Fail)

Ballybunion pool is currently at contract document stage. My understanding is the contract documents have been with the experts at the Office of Public Works for three or four weeks. I sincerely hope there are no technical difficulties. If there are none, the next stage would be to approve the contract documents. However, to the best of my knowledge, we have not yet received the report back from the OPW. It is anticipated it will arrive in the not too distant future. As I have indicated, I will be trying to advance as many pool projects as possible to the next stage, within the context of the resources available to me at the moment.
