I raise this issue on the back of a huge issue we have in my own part of the world where our only public pool, which is in Dunmanway, received €5.5 million four years ago.

Tim Lombard: I have another meeting to go to at 5 p.m. so I will be brief. I thank the delegation for the presentation. It has been very informative and helpful.
