DCC Proposal to close Crumlin, Sean McDermott St and Coolock Pools will be Vehemently Opposed - Sept 23rd
The proposal outlined at today's meeting of the Arts Culture and Youth Affairs Strategic Policy Committee of Dublin City Council to close three of our city's swimming pools will be vehemently opposed by myself and other Labour Party Councillors.
These closures would have a devastating effect on the communities that they serve as thousands of members of the public use these facilities each year. These pools were designed as a public amenity, not a revenue raising exercise and it seems counter-productive in the extreme for the council to be considering closure as we face continuing childhood obesity and anti-social behaviour problems.
No closure will be accepted and all proposals to close the existing facilities will be meet with Labour opposition at every stage.
