As I indicated to the Deputy in my reply to Question No. 397 of 8 November 2005, I approved the tender and grant aid of €3.8 million for the Monaghan pool project in January 2005. I understand that construction work is continuing and is due to be completed in mid-2006. The grant is being drawn down on a phased basis and to date €1.5 million has been paid by my Department to Monaghan County Council.
