Portora pool to close

One of our last remaining outdoor pools is to shut.

With snow on the ground, the last thing you'll be thinking of is going for a swim in an outdoor pool.

However, for generations of families a dip in the open air in Enniskillen was something to look forward to every summer.

But now after 50 years the facility at Portora Royal School is to close. Bad weather and rising costs mean it's become a financial drain.

Our reporter in the West, Julian Fowler, reports on the end of an era.
