I want to focus on arts, sport and tourism with which I am concerned. There have been significant cutbacks in certain areas and a controversial one that will affect many communities is that of swimming pool grants. The Book of Estimates contains a proposal to cut grants next year by 41%. The outgoing Government – in the person of then Minister of State, Mr. Bobby Molloy, before his political demise – had the stated ambition to give all children access to swimming pool facilities. It is difficult to square that ambition with a 41% cut in the grant for the building of new swimming pools and the renovation of existing pools.
