Today is the final day Dubliners can have their say on a plan to create a white-water rafting attraction in the capital.

A water polo and kayaking pool would also be created at George's Dock, under a Dublin City Council proposal.

The dock, which often hosts outdoor events such as Oktoberfest, would also become a rescue training base for emergency services.

Plans for the €12 million attraction were first floated by in January.

Derek Kelly, administrative officer at Dublin Docklands, said councillors think the plans could regenerate the area.

"They see the value of this project. At the moment, anybody who knows George's Dock, it's sitting idle; it's derelict.

He said "This is what the city council sees as a good activation of the area."

The final decision on whether to go ahead rests with councillors.
