In a statement today Cllr Joan Collins, People Before Profit Alliance welcomed the decision of Dublin City Council to keep Crumlin swimming pool open.
She said "The decision not to close the pool from January 1 is a victory fro people power. The community should give themselves a very big clap on the back for forcing this turnaround. In response to the initial statement from Dublin City Council a vigorous and determined community campaign to Save Our Swimming Pool S.O.S was set up. It is testament to that determination from parents, school users and the workers in the pool that DCC have stepped back from the drastic closure of the swimming pool.
I am calling on DCC to make the same positive decision for Sean McDermott Street and Coolock swimming pools.
The local campaign wants to investigate setting up a management board, made up of the pool workers, schools and parents, to give the pool a new lease of life so that it will be used to it’s full potential.”
Cllr Collins looks forward to a positive dialogue with the Council officials over the next number of months.
