Westmeath County Council is hosting a public info evening in Athlone today.
EU Just Transition funds are set to provide a major boost to a proposed outdoor swimming pool on the River Shannon.
The local authority in Westmeath, in partnership with Failte Ireland, will be able to progress their proposals for the project in Athlone.

A design team is being appointed to put together a feasibility study and preliminary designs in order to submit official planning permission.
