Three of Ireland's most expensive hotels were given over €15,000 in swimming pool grants despite the pools being costly for the public to access.
The five-star hotels - The Merrion, The Marker and The InterContinental - received around €5,000 each from Ireland Active as part of the Covid-19 Swimming Pool Grant Fund for 2022.
The hotels also received over €10,000 in previous rounds of the same grant.
