€850,000 is the total cost of the pool.
Sponsored nameplates and a tap to donate machine - those are some of the ways over €195,000 has been raised for a new outdoor swimming pool in Offaly.
Shannon Bank Park Group is running a fundraising campaign for the pool in Banagher since February, through various events such as a 80's night club evening and a hike up Carrauntoohil.
€850,000 is the total cost of the pool, with a substantial chunk of €616,000 awarded through the EU Just Transition Fund.
Construction has started with the first phase due to be completed before the end of August.
John Butler from the Shannon Bank Park Development Group says its a real community effort:
