That's basically a tourist pull once again.

The whitewater rafting facility was ridiculed consistently when it came up as an idea.

And yet, the idea of the white water rafting facility was you could bring stags and hens and they could use it.

You could also use it for elite sport and you could also use it for your community.

And I firmly believe the reason why that was ridiculed as much as it was, was because people could not wrap their head around the fact that somebody in the inner city of Dublin might want to be in a canoe and might want to do white water rafting.

There was nothing at all wrong with that idea.

There's also nothing at all wrong with the idea of me making it a communal swimming pool.

There is something wrong with the idea of taking this prime area in probably the most grown area of Dublin and making it a big tourist attraction that we do not need.
