SIX children were hospitalised after inhaling fumes in a Co Kildare swimming pool. Twenty five children, all aged under 9, were using a pool at NUi Maynooth when they had to be taken outside. It is believe the fumes were caused by chemicals, and had travelled into the campus pool through a ventilation system. The Health Service Executive said that around 15 ambulances and rapid response vehicles had raced to the scene after the alarm was raised.
