Swimmers don’t want the towel thrown in

I HOPE that Cork Corporation will reconsider the drastic decision to close down and sell off the last two municipal swimming pools in the city, at Churchfield and Douglas.

Is the city manager saying he is unable to manage the running of two perfectly adequate public swimming pools when a small city like Belfast can manage 12 municipal pools? The alternative of a private commercial concern is simply throwing in the towel.

Both pools need a facelift, but it’s untrue to claim that they were not kept clean.
