As part of the Lucan House & Demesne Masterplan, South Dublin County Council has already included proposals that support increased water-based activity on the River Liffey. This includes the provision of a new boathouse and associated storage to enable water-sports activity on the river. These facilities form part of the broader plan to enhance recreational and tourism use of the river corridor.

In progressing this work, the Council will engage with the operators of Rafting Ireland and the Canoe Centre at Palmerstown Mills, along with other relevant stakeholders, to explore how best to support and further develop eco, sports, and recreational water-based tourism between Lucan and Palmerstown.
