Thurles Town Council applied for grant aid under the local authority swimming pool programme for the provision of a replacement swimming pool in Thurles. The project is under consideration in my Department at contract document stage of the programme. There are four stages in the swimming pool development process: preliminary report, contract document, tender approval and construction. My Department is considering whether to move this project on to the next stage of the process in the context of the funding available in the Department's multi-annual capital envelope for the local authority swimming pool programme.
