Adjournment Matters. - Swimming Pool Projects.

 

My main concern is that there is now a proposal to downsize the proposed pool to one with only five lanes. It is unfair that after such a long wait the people of Tuam would not get what was promised. The extra lane was to be used for activities such as aqua fitness. I will fight for the full six lane facility. We have only one chance to get it right and this is the time to do so. All swimming pools recently approved by the Department have been approved for six lanes. The proper name for such pools is leisure centres and, as proposed for Tuam, they come with saunas, steam rooms, a gym and aerobic studios. Provincial and national swimming competitions cannot be held in the north Galway region if we have a smaller pool.
