The Mullingar Regional Sports Complex will deliver a long-campaigned for swimming pool.
A planned regional sports complex for Westmeath is set to get a massive funding boost of €7.5m.
It's set to go to the site planned under the Blackhall Place Regeneration Project in Mullingar under the government's Town and City Regeneration Investment Fund.
It follows a previous €2m funding boost to secure design and planning for the complex, which will house a swimming pool, badminton courts and a multi-use sports hall.
In total, County Westmeath has been allocated €15.3 million, including:
- €7.5m for the Athlone Riverside Cultural and Public Realm Regeneration project;
- €150,000 for the Athlone Tourism and Cultural Quarter;
- €150,000 for the Mullingar Southwestern Quadrant Regeneration Framework.
Minister of State and Longford-Westmeath TD Robert Troy is welcoming the news, saying the latest investment will allow the facility to be transformed into a "community and sporting facility."
