A sum of €184m has been provided in the National Development Plan 2007 — 2013 for supporting existing projects in the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme and for new projects to be selected following the launch of a new round of the Programme, as provided for in the Programme for Government. The terms and conditions of a new round will be devised taking into account the recommendations of the Value for Money and Policy Review report on the existing Programme, which has been completed by my Department and which will be published shortly. I have not yet decided on the timing for a new Programme.
