Under the local authority swimming pool programme administered by my Department, proposals for the provision of a swimming pool in Ballaghaderreen were submitted by Roscommon County Council and Ballaghaderreen and Districts Development Limited. It is a requirement of the programme that projects not being developed directly by a local authority must be submitted through and have the full support of the relevant local authority. This is particularly important in the context of financing the capital and ongoing costs of such projects. Roscommon County Council has been asked for an update of the feasibility study for this project and, when received, the matter can be considered further.
