A councillor has asked Kildare County Council (KCC) for a commitment to start the process for the delivery of a swimming pool in Newbridge.

Fine Gael Cllr Peggy O'Dwyer made the request at the latest Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District (MD) meeting, which was held on Wednesday, May 15 last, while discussing the Capital Programme 2024 to 2026 with KCC.

She also asked KCC if a pop-up pool, similar to a project which took place in Leixlip, could be implemented in the interim.

KCC told her in response that there is a possibility of a previous funding stream (now under the Charities Regulator) and that the District Manager for the MD agreed to contact the trustee to investigate this possibility.
