Thurles Leisure Centre Briefly Closed In Interest Of Safety.

Thurles Leisure Centre, situated here on Cathedral Street in Thurles town, have confirmed that indeed patrons of the swimming pool area were evacuated by members of staff on Monday last, August 11th, following what is being described as a minor incident.

The happening is understood to have been caused due a minor chemical reaction, brought about by cleaning at the popular facilities changing rooms area.

We understand that emergency services involving the local fire brigade and eventually one ambulance arriving later, were summoned to the scene. Same response is required; nay, in the interest of health and safety; same is demanded under strict protocols at the Leisure Centre.

We reliably understand that after the routine cleaning of a toilet, within the aforementioned changing facility area, a mix of cleaning chemical were identified as being responsible for causing a minor chemical reaction, causing coughing.

The public venue, under Tipperary Co. Council guidance, remained closed following the incident, but fully re-opened yesterday afternoon, at 2:00pm.

Both the closure and reopening of this popular Thurles Gym; Physical Fitness Centre and Heated Swimming area was clearly announced on their Facebook page.
