Return of aquatic centre makes waves

CONTROVERSY surrounding the operation of the National Aquatic Centre continued yesterday as the High Court ruled that possession of the building be returned to State company Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Ltd (CSID).

The latest twist in an ongoing series of problems that have dogged the facility for years left opposition parties demanding an explanation from the Government.

Yesterday, the High Court found that the company appointed to operate the National Aquatic Centre, Dublin Waterworld Ltd (DWL), had deliberately breached its lease.
