It’s Great!
I work in the area and with all the economic doom and gloom, it’s great to see people having a bit of fun, for free, it’s the type of thing that makes me want to live in the area! I’ve been down to the beach three or four times since it opened and it’s great seeing workers, tourists and the locals all having fun in the middle of the city! Fair dues to those who organised it, investing money locally so that people can have a little break instead of having to fly or drive off somewhere else to spend there money. To all the naysayers, don’t knock til you try it, if you don’t like it that’s fine, but let other people enjoy it without making us feel guilty! I’m off now to practice Salsa moves, (I’m thinking about the Salsa tonight).

The same urban beaches can be found in most european cities also New York, the climate there is more suited, if this project goes ahead again next year maybe it could be inclosed like paradise island outside Berlin a roof over head and heating. God knows what will be done next to get people into this new part of our city,dublin docklands won’t stop at nothing waste??who foots the bill???

It’s not a waste of money if people used it.
If ever public investment had to be justified financially, there wouldn’t be any taxes.
Why do you people have such a negative outlook on everything?

What a waste of money

I think it its a bit of a joke myself. And an expensive one at the taxpayers expense! I don’t understand the logic. Dublin city is on the coast, we have plenty of beaches. Why waste money on a sand pit especially given the wet weather we are experiencing at present.
