Adjournment Matters. - Swimming Pool Projects.
Councillor Séamus Quinn whose daughter worked in the existing Tuam pool has called for state of the art wheelchair access to the pool. I support him on this. Tuam has been highlighted as a disadvantaged area by the recent ADM report and it is now part of the RAPID programme which aims to accelerate development in disadvantaged towns. The development of a new pool in Tuam is an approved project which should be prioritised and progressed immediately under this programme. We want Tuam swimming pool to be an excellent facility. Whatever has to be done should be done and it is crucial to have the six lanes for the success of the leisure project. I plead with the Minister to give Tuam the same leisure facilities as any other town in the country.
