A KAYAKING facility is planned for the banks of the River Shannon, the Limerick Leader can reveal.
The voluntary Limerick Kayaking Academy (LKA) is proposing the development at the Shannon Fields park in Corbally.
If it gets permission from council planners, the facility will include a 250 square metre hard-stand, perimeter fence and prefabricated storage unit to facilitate the on-river kayaking.
Secretary of the academy Garry Cosgrove said a city facility would be “the missing piece of the puzzle” for kayaking in Limerick, with the group already securing grant funding and committed to raising the balance thereafter.
