Northside Swimming Pool given a lifeline. (07th July 2010)

Minister for Lifelong Learning, local TD Seán Haughey, has welcomed the recent announcement by Dublin City Council that it is keeping open three public swimming pools which had been threatened with closure this summer.

“This is good news and will be welcomed in particular by all those who use the Northside Swimming Pool in Coolock. In recent months I actively campaigned to keep this pool open and called on the City Manager, John Tierney to provide the necessary finance so that this important amenity would not be closed to the public. I am delighted that he has since announced that funding will continue and the facility will be available to the community for the remainder of 2010”.

“The City Council must now explore all funding possibilities to ensure that these pools remain open next year and beyond and I will continue to press the City Manager on this matter”.
