As I indicated to the Deputy in my reply to Questions Nos. 397 and 272 of 8 November and 13 December 2005, respectively, I approved the tender and grant-aid of €3.8 million for the Monaghan pool project in January 2005. This approval allowed the council to finalise the legal formalities with the contractor so that work could begin on the project. Construction of the pool is under way with a completion date of mid-year. To date, Monaghan County Council has drawn down €1.62 million of the grant.
