Duncan Smith (LAB), Dublin Fingal

The Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, and I represent the Dublin Fingal constituency, which is the only local authority area in the country that does not have a municipal swimming pool. When I was a councillor, I worked to have an objective included in the county development plan calling for the delivery of public swimming pools, ideally including one in Balbriggan and another in Swords. Unfortunately, Swords has the unenviable title of being the largest town in Ireland without a primary care centre, a rail link or, indeed, a public swimming pool. What is the Government doing to drive the delivery of public swimming pools in areas like Swords, Balbriggan and elsewhere in the country where they are badly needed?
