A new local authority finance report shows a number of services have taken a hit.

Westmeath's public leisure facilities have been badly hit by the pandemic.

A new local authority finance report shows Mullingar Swimming Pool has taken in just over 5,000 euro so far this year, down from over 288,000 euro in the first six months of 2019.

Belvedere House and Gardens fared better, with takings close to 103,000 euro, but still less than half its 214,000 plus income for the same period two years ago.

While Athlone Castle and Gardens brought in just over 25,500 euro for the first half of this year, compared to over 67,500 euro in 2019.
