Seanad debates

Tuesday, 4 October 2011

I acknowledge the €3.8 million which was approved by the Minister of State's predecessor and was signed off by the Minister of State. I remember raising the matter in the House on the Adjournment and the commitment the Minister of State gave at the time to sign off on it. I acknowledge this. Senator Eamonn Coghlan will be delighted to hear this €3.8 million went to the Finn Valley Athletics Club in Stranorlar to develop a swimming pool project under the local authority swimming pool development programme and the Department's swimming pool development programme. The project is going from strength to strength and last Friday, a new track was opened at the same club, of which I am a member. We are very grateful for the funding made available through the programme. I hope the swimming pool programme will be reopened also, albeit on a more targeted basis towards areas which may not have benefited in the past.
