| Public facilities in Waterford like everywhere else in the Republic of Ireland (bar Cork) are insured by a company called Irish Public Bodies Mutual Insurance. In order to reduce their insurance premiums to an affordable amount (25'000 euro's per annum with a 5000 euro excess) Waterford county council negotiated with I.P.B.M.I and agreed on the following provisions. ~ The establishment of a skatepark users club. ~ All users must wear helmets and full pads. ~ The skatepark must be supervised. ~ The facility must be professionally built and maintained. These are basically the golden rules to getting any council owned public skatepark in Ireland insured. |
