As I indicated to the Deputy in my reply to Question No. 133 on 1 December 2005, I approved the detailed contract documents, submitted by Kildare County Council, for the proposed swimming pool in Naas in March 2005. Subsequent to this approval, however, Kildare County Council indicated to my Department that it proposed to change the site for the project. On 15 November, the council provided an addendum to the preliminary report in relation to the proposed new site and on 2 December 2005 submitted the revised contract documents. This documentation, which was found satisfactory from a technical point of view by the Department's technical advisers, the Office of Public Works, is now under consideration in my Department.
