Plans to turn Carrigaline into a beacon for watersports enthusiasts are progressing at pace and government funding is to be sought to drive the project to fruition.

An initial plan drawn up by municipal district council officials, with the help of a blueway expert, has been presented to councillors which looked at possible landing and launching sites for the project along the Owenabue river and estuary.
