Under the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme there are four principal stages in a swimming pool project following the submission of a feasibility study. These, in order of progress, are: Preliminary Report; Contract Documents; Tender and Construction.

Two proposals were submitted to my Department by Cork County Council on behalf of Dunmanway. One of the proposals was for a refurbishment of the existing pool together with an extension to accommodate additional facilities including a gym. A Preliminary Report on this proposal was approved in March 2001.

I understand that the Council expects to have Contract Documents in respect of the above project submitted to the Department for approval by October 2010.
