NIALL Kenny is an open water marathon swimmer and a Cork native. But, most importantly, he is the man behind the campaign for a Lido in Cork.

He joined Southern Star editor Siobhán Cronin recently to explain exactly what a ‘Lido’ is, and why Ireland’s second city so badly needs – and deserves – one.

The possible site of the Lido in Cork city.

Kenny says that a possible site could be along Kennedy Quay, near the train station, where Cork County Council bought land from the Port of Cork Authority.

A possible design for the Lido.

Tune in now to hear more about the campaign, why Cork deserves a Lido and the benefits a city can see from embracing its river.

This episode was produced and presented by Siobhán Cronin, with editing by Dylan Mangan.
