The â¬18m water activities centre at Custom House Quay, replacing an outdated building, is set to enhance participation in water sports like kayaking and rowing. Managed by Swan Leisure, the initiative aims to foster community engagement and improve accessibility to the Liffey for residents. Green Party councillor Janet Horner emphasized the importance of this centre in encouraging river engagement, highlighting the limited access points previously available. Though the centre won't be fully operational this summer, it represents a significant step towards treating the Liffey as an urban amenity for all.
"We've been pushing for a long time for more animation of the Liffey, and seeing more engagement, whether it's people kayaking, swimming, paddleboarding, whatever it might be."
"This project is a key part of treating the Liffey as a city amenity, giving people a new way to experience the capital."
