A leisure centre in Cork, Ireland has reopened its doors to the public following the completion of work to repair flood damage sustained in November last year.

Mardyke Arena University College Cork (UCC), which boasts a Life Fitness-equipped fitness studio and a 25m, six-lane swimming pool, was forced to shut as a result of severe damage to the ground floor. Contractors have been working for more than two months to enable the facility to reopen to UCC students, staff and graduates, as well as members of the local community.

All services, programmes and facilities previously offered at the site, which also includes an aerobics and dance studio, an athletics track, a climbing wall and three sports halls, will be reinstated following the reopening of Mardyke Arena UCC.
