@gardainfo@IWSie@gardacollege Wouldn't it be brilliant if all the local children in Templemore were given access to the @gardacollege swimming pool so they too could save lives.
@gardainfo@IWSie Well done to all involved. Lifesaving skills are vital and so important that every child is given the opportunity to learn how to swim. @gardacollege Templemore have a wonderful swimming pool but the local community still have no access to the pool .
A year on ... ..
Minimum access for two schools but @gardacollege still refusing to allow Friday night swimming classes for children. Please fill out this survey. It only takes 30 seconds so we can understand current local need for swimming lessons .

This issue was supposed to be sorted. Then Taoiseach in November even commented. A broader symptom re Garda involvement with communities?
Justice Minister to meet with gardaí to discuss ban on community use of Templemore college pool (via @thejournal_ie) https://t.co/50KlILgQwS
5th & 6th Class students from @stjosephs_ps & @NaomhColmcille6 stood with @swimtemplemore at the Garda College today to protest the fact that the children of Templemore still have nowhere to swim.
Thank you to Minister @SimonHarrisTD for taking the time to meet with the children
@camp_ireland Tell that to @gardacollege templemore with over 800 children on a waiting list to learn how to swim and no access to the pool where their parents learned how to swim
@jackfchambers Jack why have you been silent on the @gardacollege templemore refusing to let young local kids learn to swim in their pool? A tradition that has been going since 1965. How does this match with your national swimming program?
@gardacollege ghosting the community of Templemore going back on its word to give access to the swimming pool by November . How can the public ever trust the management of the garda college? @MichealMartinTD@HMcEntee https://t.co/sF50A5Ans4
@MichealMartinTD the @gardacollege has not issued licences to the schools/community groups in Templemore. No child has access to water safety classes. You said you could resolve this and this country promotes water safety.What is your position now!@HMcEntee @jackiecahillff
@EamonRyan you stated in the Dail a month ago that the issue with the community of Templemore using the @gardacollege swimming pool would be sorted out in a few days. Schools and community groups still have no access! What have you to say now?
