In welcoming the news Cllr Noel Bourke remarked, “I’m pleased that Edenderry Swimming Pool has been allocated a grant of 75% to a maximum of €48,643 for the development of a Hydro-Therapy Zone.”
Cllr Bourke said that this will enhance the facilities available at the pool and attract more people to it.
