Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Limited has advised 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. CSID has asked Rohcon to use all necessary resources to ensure that these dates are met, if not improved upon. On completion of the repair works, arrangements for the re-opening of the centre will be a matter for Dublin Waterworld, the operator of the national aquatic centre.

The cost of the repairs is a matter between the contractor and the insurers. I look forward to the completion of these works and the reopening of the centre as soon as possible.
