Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Limited has informed me that its structural engineers have received information from the contractors, Rohcon Limited, that the repairs to the National Aquatic Centre are expected to be completed by 20 May 2005, save for the neon lighting, which has a seven-week delivery period. This is the circular strip of lighting that surrounds the roof of the leisure waters, and Rohcon has confirmed that it is to be installed on top of the flume tower from 23 May to 10 June 2005. CSID has asked Rohcon to use all necessary resources to ensure that the dates are met, if not improved upon.

The cost of the repairs is a matter between the contractor and the insurers.

I look forward to the completion of the works and the reopening of the centre as soon as possible.
