An outdoor swimming pool in an Offaly town is one of more unusual spots to swim in the county.
Located along the river Shannon, the pool in Banagher is a perfect spot for a swim but it has been without a lifeguard during the summer months.
For many years, the pool had a lifeguard and with this in mind, calls are being made for a lifeguard to be put at the pool along the river in Banagher in light of what will be an outdoor summer due to continued Covid-19 restrictions.

Galway Bay FM Newsroom – Over 200 people attended two Public information meetings on the Galway to Athlone Cycleway this week that was hosted by Senator for Roscommon-Galway Aisling Dolan.
The proposed Cycleway will eventually create a dedicated 270km route from Dublin to Galway city with both the North Green Route Number 1 and the Central Blue Route Number 3 joining to give a clear route from Galway City to Athlone.
The aim of the meetings, held through Zoom, was to inform Landowners and farmers about the general consultation process that ends on March the 1st and the project team has urged the public to view the proposed routes and to submit feedback.
