Pool’s closure angers members

Concerned, paid-up members of a swimming pool complex, closed all this week, have been backed by senior managers of Kerry County Council in demanding an explanation from the centre’s management.

Members were surprised on Monday to discover the doors of Ballybunion Health and Leisure centre locked, with a sign saying it was closed due to a power failure.

Marie Delaney, who paid her €350 annual membership subscription last summer, said she was shocked when told by a friend the centre had closed.
