THE drive to create a lido in the River Lee is gaining momentum after three Cork city centre sites were identified as potentially suitable by engineering experts.

The Irish Examiner understands that Kennedy Quay, the Marina and Horgan’s Quay are on the shortlist of possible locations for a 50m open water pool, in the wake of a feasibility study by engineering consultants Malachy Walsh and Partners (MWP).
