WE are pleased with the decision by Cork city council not to proceed with the privatisation of Douglas swimming pool.

AS THE parent of a young member of Sundays Well Swimming Club in Cork, I wish to express my concern over the uncertain future of Douglas pool.

I AM ANGRY over the proposed closure of Douglas swimming pool in Cork. A costly ‘feasibility study’ concluded that the pool was not viable and that it should be transferred to a private concern, with the council giving a lease of over 100 years.
