Sauna and plunge pool proposed for popular Mayo lake amenity

An elected member of Mayo County Council, Councillor Donna Sheridan, has suggested adding a sauna and plunge pool facility at Lough Lannagh.

She said similar amenities were in place at Westport House.

Having them at Lough Lannagh woudl be an additional boost for the location's skate park, dragon boats, tennis facilities and parkruns.

Meanwhile, Councillor Blackie Gavin renewed calls for improved signage directing visitors to Lough Lannagh.

He said many people remain unaware of how close the facility is to the town centre, a point echoed by head of the district Anne Moore following feedback from a recent conference.
