I'm surprised there's none in Ireland.
I know the weather is a factor but from May to September it could be open.

also would create jobs and of course charge high prices for food at it etc.. like in Spain

LOL

The one in Blanchardstown would be classed as an indoor water park of sorts, no ?

Huh

Why is everyone ignoring the op's question?why are there no waterparks in Ireland?

The thought of a water park in Ireland scares me. We all see empty beaches during the irish summer, which - on the relatively few fine days we get during a summer - become chaotic hives of uncontrolled mayhem. Can you imagine waking up on a fine day, deciding to go to the water park, getting there, not being able to find a parking spot, waiting in line for admission, dealing with empty chip cartons thrown all over the place, dealing with stinky, piss soaked toilets, waiting hours in line for the big slide with moaning, crying children all around, all the while getting burned to a crisp in the summer sun, and having to listen to some langer parents give out to the pimply-faced youth who is manning the drop-slide because their runt of a child stubbed his toe on the stairs up to it.

Not my idea of a way to spend a rare fine Irish summer's day. I'd rather cut me lawn. With blunt scissors.
