## Resource

Leisureland’s prices are up again—this time by ten percent—marking the second straight year of hikes as the facility grapples with mounting financial strain. A steep funding cut from Galway City Council, totaling over three hundred thousand euros, has forced the decision, with council reports warning that without price increases, they’d risk breaking even—or worse, needing even deeper cuts or higher future fees. Families feel the pinch, as rising costs threaten accessibility and public trust in a vital community resource. Beyond the council’s reduced support, soaring wages, pensions, energy, and maintenance expenses are forcing delays on critical equipment upgrades. The real question now: who should shoulder this burden—the public or the city? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
