Ballybunion pool complex to reopen doors after locals raise €40,000

A swimming pool complex in a popular seaside resort which closed suddenly six weeks ago is due to reopen today following the payment of an outstanding bill.

Independent electricity supplier Energia, which had been owed €14,000, cut off power at the Ballybunion Health and Leisure Centre in April.

The centre shut its doors without notice to staff or its 350 members.
