The petition has been circulating on Twitter over the past two days and has since gained 3,000 of its 5,000 signature goal. You may have heard about Dublin City Councilâs proposal for a â¬25 million white-water-rafting facility located at Georgeâs Dock,â the group penned. We acknowledge that elite water-sport athletes and the fire brigade require facilities to train. But we believe that this space, in Dublin s inner city, is not the right location for this facility. Surely there is a better solution.
âWe propose the conversion of the space at Georgeâs Dock into a large, public, outdoor swimming facility, for all Dubliners, accessible to all abilities. Georgeâs Dock is the perfect location for such a proposal.â
