Under the National Development Plan 2007-2013, €184m has been allocated for the provision of public swimming pools under the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme. In 2008, the Subhead provision for this programme is €20m. A Value for Money and Policy Review Report of the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme has been completed by my Department. The Report examined, among other things, how the programme has worked to date and what changes, if any, are required to ensure its effective and efficient delivery. Following consideration of the recommendations in the Report, it is my intention to launch a new round of the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme.
