Young offenders to get swimming complex

A MULTI-MILLION-euro new swimming pool complex in north Dublin is to serve young offenders who will be segregated from families and the general public using the facility.

Male and female juveniles will use the sports and leisure facility which will have no openable windows, no piping that can facilitate escapes and be designed to stop drugs being smuggled in.

The Department of Justice, which is building the facility, also plans to allow members of the public to use the pool complex, which is to be built in Lusk, north Dublin.
