“It doesn’t float my boat,” said Shane.“This is unimaginative and unexciting. Everybody says it’ll be brilliant and it’ll be fantastic because they’re thinking of weather like yesterday and the day before, but will it be used 300 days a year? I don’t think it will personally.
“I worked in an outdoor swimming pool - admittedly a long time ago - and it closed. All those outdoor swimming pools around the country close and they close for a reason – because they’re weather dependent.”He said the money could be spent on bigger and better things – noting that Parnell Square could be renovated to become a new public plaza.
“To me, that would be a much better use of the money. I’m disappointed with it; I think it lacks ambition.”Ciara disagreed completely, insisting: “I think this is a wonderful amenity for the north inner city.” “This money is earmarked for a public amenity and I think this is a great amenity for the inner city. Yes, maybe on some rainy days it won’t be used but neither will Parnell Square – there won’t be people sitting out there on Parnell Square on rainy days.
I would normally say that we have to progress ..but at this stage housing has to be a priority its crazy this is coming up

There’s been talk of outdoor pools for years, having said that, I’ve swam in one or two around the country and enjoyed them
