It's hoped it'll prevent dangers at an outdoor pool, based on the banks of the river Shannon.
A Midlands community is calling for a qualified lifeguard to be provided for by Offaly and Galway County Council.
An outdoor pool, based on the banks of the river Shannon, is proving popular this summer.
However there is a concern that when the pool becomes busy, it can be dangerous.
A young boy was rescued last week, by an observer, after getting into trouble in the deep end.
Local resident, Triona Teehan says something must be done before there is a serious incident:
