Sligo County Council is being urged to support a proposal for a pop-up swimming pool in Ballymote.

Ballymote Community Council wants to bring a Swim Ireland pool to the area, following the success of the facility in Tubbercurry in 2022.

The pool would provide swimming lessons, aquafit classes and autism-friendly sessions for people of all ages across South Sligo.

Speaking to Ocean FM News, Dara Mulvey says every child should have the opportunity to learn to swim and discussions with Swim Ireland will continue.
