Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

Will the Minister of State provide a commitment to the effect that he will deal expeditiously with the local authority's application when it is received in the Department and that he will ensure there will be no further delays in respect of this project? As he is aware, there has been an ongoing saga in respect of Ballaghaderreen swimming pool. No one wants to see a repeat of the tragic events involving pupils from St. Nathy's College who lost their lives in Sligo a number of years ago. It is important to put facilities such as swimming pools in place for local communities.
