Laois County Council says it's committed to keeping Portlaoise Leisure Centre open to the public.
The company is going into liquidation, due the financial pressure from the covid-19 crisis, and 30 staff are being laid off.
The Council - which the centre has operated under since 2012 - says it's anxious to ensure the future viability of the leisure complex.
