“The facilities are all-weather facilities so they are going to be unlike anything we currently have in Ireland and they will be a combination of what people may be used to seeing around the world.
“Basically, there will be an enclosed section to the building but it will be open on many sides.
“It will contain a number of showers, toilets, secure lockers and storage so people can leave their personal belongings while they are participating in their water-based activity.
“There will be an orientation area where visitors to the area who may not be familiar can understand what other things there are to do and see.
