Re: Free parking in Dublin City Centre
Thats great news......BUT :roll: I hear there are other paddle sport shops in Dublin and not have to pay to park there no matter how long you stay, they will even give you a cup of coffee even if you just call in for a chat and don't spend anything... Hard to believe such good value and service stil...

Re: Regulation of Kayaking and Canoeing in Ireland
Just to add to this, AFAS ( Centre Standards Board ) is the Association of Adventure Sports Centers which used to provide approval for Adventure centers. I'm not sure how active these lot still are or what part they might be able to play in regulating the industry. Its dormant, the person I spoke t...

Re: Regulation of Kayaking and Canoeing in Ireland
I'd like to see regulation so I only have to compete with other qualified instructors for work who have also spent thousands between trips, training and assessments, spent countless hours practicing and logging hours so that they can lead groups safely.

Re: Regulation of Kayaking and Canoeing in Ireland
The more I think about this the more I'm not sure of what I think is the correct way to go, nice to see a bit of debate on it for sure. Has anyone done a p.a.d.i course for example?

Re: Regulation of Kayaking and Canoeing in Ireland
Seanie, I agree that there should be some regulation, but how would such a system then apply to Clubs both regular & college. Or should their be a two tier system be in place to let them operate as they currently do? I'm not sure how all operators work but I'm sure their public liability and profess...
