Aquatic Centre a facility for everybody, not just for the elite

THE spectacular success of the opening session of the Special Olympics at the €63m National Aquatic Centre yesterday should prove the catalyst for the completion of the ambitious Campus Ireland development, in the opinion of Liam Bohan, director of the Centre.

The €63m euro facility reverberated with excitement as a huge programme of races was completed in some style.

The breath-taking scale of the main competitive pool and stadium and the flexibility that meant the leisure centre was simultaneously in full swing for members of the public illustrated the special quality of the development.
