2) Yes
3) "As a local Councillor for Balbriggan last year I questioned the Council of the feasibility study for a pool in the north county. I was assured that publication of the study was imminent at the time (November)."
Canditare Alistair Smith
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) A swimming pool in North Fingal would be great for the surrounding communities.
Cllr Tony Murphy
1) Yes
2) No, the pool should be in Balbriggan
3) I have debated recently in Fingal at ACM live against Swords Councillors to have the swimming pool built in Balbriggan.
Cllr Dean Mulligan
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) I unreservedly support the campaign for a publicly funded swimming pool in North Fingal. As an area with one of the youngest demographics, this facility is a necessity for young people and families, as a health & sports amenity. Swimming is for old and young alike, for public health and relaxation. Leaving this in the hands of hotels and private sports facilities reduces access and is unacceptable. Public pools were provided to the working classes over 100 years ago, with all our new wealth there is no excuse other than lack of political will.

3) I am fully supportive of your campaign. I have raised this matter in the Seanad on several occasions and will do all I can to see it delivered. It’s a vital piece of infrastructure for the large population in North Fingal
Cllr Karen Power
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) For a number of reasons we need the amenity of a swimming pool in our local area but those aside it is fundamental given where we live, our location to the coast that our children in particular should have a local swimming pool where they can take lessons and develop their confidence in the water. Yes, personally it is shocking it is not already provided to the community as an amenity
