    Why doesn't Waterford have a splash tour? If it's a Viking city it needs one of those vehicles to bring tourists around and drive on the Suir. Surely, it's common sense to get one of these things to entice more tourists and parties?

    Mayhap indeed. It would indeed be cool to promote the 'quay river' as most tourists visit a place on the river but never get to experience it. Floating restaurants, and other bits and bobs.

    Nice idea. but there's no slipway big enough.
    There is the ones at Granny and Waterford Castle but they are both private.

    I don't see the point, it's just another type of bus.

    Could invade Kilkenny with a fleet of them, or just use the bridge.
