asked the Minister for Local Government if he has received a proposal from Mayo County Council for sanction to raise a loan of £10,000 to complete a swimming pool at Ballyhaunis; the date on which the application was received; the reason for the delay in sanction; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I would refer the Deputy to my reply on the 16th November last to his question concerning Mayo County Council's application of June last for sanction to the raising of a £10,000 loan towards the cost of this project.
