- Physical Education Facilities. (28 Jan 2009)
Olivia Mitchell: I agree that the swimming pool programme is great. The tragedy is that it cannot continue this year, at any rate. The reality is that it is not 50 new pools, but nine. The rest were refurbishment projects. Just to clarify, the figure might be nine or 11, but it is nothing like 50.

Olivia Mitchell: They may have been refurbished.

- Physical Education Facilities. (28 Jan 2009)
Olivia Mitchell: I am just saying it is not adding to the total sum of swimming pools around the country. It would be wrong to say that.
- Natural History Museum. (28 Jan 2009)
Olivia Mitchell: The Minister should not start me on Collins Barracks. I will stick to the Natural History Museum. It is more than 18 months since the stairs collapsed in the Natural History Museum and it was closed. Some â¬15 million was put into the national development plan for essential improvements in the Natural History Museum, namely, a small extension, a lift and a little coffee area. The lift...
- Natural History Museum. (28 Jan 2009)
Olivia Mitchell: I accept all that, but there is a conservation issue in terms of the heat and lighting controls in that building and this must be addressed. It is an issue of conservation, cost control and safety. Is the â¬15 million gone? That is my question. The Minister's predecessor, Lord have mercy on him, promised a safety audit before that building would be reopened, and that is essential to...

- Arts Funding. (28 Jan 2009)
Olivia Mitchell: The NDP is an historic document at this point but it allocated in the region of â¬83 million to the ACCESS programme. Am I correct in that?
- Arts Funding. (28 Jan 2009)
Olivia Mitchell: That is the current round but in the NDP there was just over â¬80 million. I understand there was â¬32 million and then â¬10 million. Is that correct?
- Arts Funding. (28 Jan 2009)
Olivia Mitchell: Around the country people are asking what is to happen to the other â¬40 million. Is there to be an ACCESS III programme as included in the arts and culture plan?
- Arts Funding. (28 Jan 2009)
Olivia Mitchell: The ACCESS programme has produced wonderful venues and arts centres around the country but unfortunately in many cases they are struggling. The Minister is aware of this and following the cut in the Arts Council funding the touring programme will contract, which means the venues have less opportunity to generate revenue. The Minister gives them capital revenue and when the council has the...
