An ambitious proposal to create a lido in Cork City will involve a trawl of potential sites over an area stretching from the bridge at the Anglers Rest Bar and Restaurant in Carrigrohane to Blackrock village.

Paul Collins, director of Malachy Walsh and Partners (MWP), said that both sides of the river will be considered for the 50m outdoor pool, as well as a number of inland sites, including Tramore Valley Park.
