I am informed that the pool closed during the Covid pandemic but reopened in March and that a number of schools in the vicinity of Templemore have been granted permission to use it. I understand also that this permitted use ceased during the summer holiday period and recommenced at the start of the autumn school term. I am also advised that the use of the pool by the Garda College is granted by the Office of Public Works under licence to and for the benefit of the local community on a not-for-profit basis. I understand that clarification is being sought from the Garda Síochána on this matter. I would be surprised if the Garda did not recognise the conditions that seem to be set out by the Office of Public Works on the operation of the pool and if a satisfactory resolution were not found very quickly.
