Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam, is due to launch the Quayside Project on the banks of the River Liffey today (Tuesday, September 23rd)
The event at Custom House Quay in Dublin city centre is a “flagship initiative”, according to Dublin City Council.
It says the Quayside Project aims to deliver a new Docklands Office, Municipal Water Sports Centre and “a range of other enhancements designed to revitalise the River Liffey and its surroundings.”
