The Daily PollWhat should be developed at George's Dock in Dublin?
The future of the site has been the source of a long-running debate after plans to build a whitewater rafting facility there were unveiled and later rejected.
THE FUTURE OF George’s Dock in Dublin is back in the news this morning, with plans to build an outdoor swimming pool at the derelict site being suggested again.
A meeting of Dublin city councillors will tomorrow morning hear that a public lido may be a viable option for the site, despite previous votes not reaching a consensus to support the project.
The council have been debating what to do with the site since plans to build a €25 million “world class” whitewater rafting facility at the development were unveiled and later rejected after being shot down by the public and politicians.
A parks’ space, an events’ space, sporting uses and markets will also be raised as viable options for the site at the meeting, with two feasibility reviews – one for the use as a marketplace and another for the use as a sporting area – to begin at the end of the year.
So today, we’re asking: What should be developed at Dublin’s George’s Dock?
