Authority defends filling Dublin dock with rubble to create underwater stage

The Irish Times

The Dublin Docklands Development Authority has rejected claims that its plans to create an underwater stage in the financial services quarter are an act of vandalism. The authority has started infilling George's Dock with rubble to create a "unique event platform" for live music, theatre and even an ice rink. When required, the platform will be accessed by lowering the water level. The dock will still hold water when the work is completed, but it will be much shallower.
