Under the current round of the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme, 46 pools have been opened throughout the country and eleven other projects are at various stages of the Programme. The total expenditure of €142.7 million under the programme from 2000 to the end of 2009 leveraged a total investment of some €400m in swimming pools throughout the country.

No decision has been taken on the timing of a new round of the Programme.
