A Dublin City Council boss has denied "blackmailing" councillors into signing off on plans for a water based activity centre on the quays of the Liffey.
Two new buildings on Custom House Quay in the city centre will be constructed which will house the activity centre. Water activities such as kayaking and rowing as well as water tours are planned to take place at the centre.
The Dublin Docklands Development Authority quayside buildings will be demolished to facilitate the project. The estimated cost of the project is €18m, of which €7m will be provided by the National Transport Authority. The Council’s portion of the cost will be funded from development levies.
