The Birzebbuga waterpolo pitch was not built by the previous administration because it had been subject to two appeals in court, the PN said in a statement today.
It said that contrary to the impression given by the minister when he announced the project a few days ago, it was not true that the pitch and the football ground were not built because the required funds were not allocated for them.
The second appeal, the PN said, was only decided on May 31.
