Ms Eithne Scott-Lennon:

Yes, it will be self-financing. It is my understanding that Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council will manage the facility under its leisure company. As far as I can remember the entrance fee is proposed to be about €10. The council has projected increasing figures over the years as it grows in popularity. Naturally it will not be open all year round - I do not believe our weather is sufficiently clement to allow that. The Berlin facility has the capability of being covered in the winter. As the business grows and develops we could envisage doing something like that, but it is down the road.
