Dromineer To Benefit From €19 million For Outdoor Watersport Developments

930

Dromineer, one of Tipperary’s most popular beauty spots, is to benefit under a €19m investment announced today by the Minister for Tourism and Fáilte Ireland.

The new scheme, that will develop state-of-the-art facilities for outdoor water-based activities, has been warmly welcomed by Deputy Michael Lowry: “The significant increase in people enjoying outdoor water-based activities such as kayaking, surfing, paddle-boarding, and open water swimming is expected to continue to grow year on year, and not just during the summer months. This means all-weather changing facilities, secure storage, and bathrooms at beaches and inland water spots will be in huge demand.”

Each of the 22 centres to benefit from this Scheme across the country will provide hot showers, changing and toilet facilities, secure storage, induction spaces, equipment washdown and orientation points.

A second phase is expected to commence in 2023 under Fáilte Ireland’s Platforms for Growth capital investment programme.
