Open-air diving is set to return to Fenit in Co Kerry after a near 20-year gap, as RTÉ News reports.
The move follows a three-year campaign to revive a long history of diving at the harbour town just outside of Tralee.
The tradition ceased in Fenit nearly 20 years ago after a claim against the former Tralee swimming club, and diving at the town remained closed amid health and safety concerns.
But local campaigners recently set up a restoration committee with a focus on the tourism potential of diving boards in the harbour as part of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Following appeal, plans for a 3.5m diving board on the Fenit Bathing Slips have now been given the green light — with fundraising now the only obstacle.
