[citation needed] The centre sustained roof damage during a period of stormy weather in January 2005 and had to be closed for five months so that repairs could be carried out.

During the period of closure, the National Sports Campus Development Authority (NSCDA) commenced legal proceedings to remove the operators.

The case was settled in December 2006 with Dublin Waterworld agreeing to leave the centre and each party covering their own costs.

The Public Accounts Committee investigated the background of the case and issued a report in May 2012, which was highly critical of NSCDA and the Department of Sport.

In December 2012, Dublin Waterworld acquired documents that demonstrated that NSCDA had been advised in 2002 that the VAT charge was contrary to legislation.

[citation needed] Swim Ireland launched a High Performance Unit in April 2010 and conducts training camps for elite swimmers at the centre.

In 2012, this pool hosted nations from across the globe, including teams from the USA, Great Britain, South Korea, Canada, Croatia and more for pre-London Olympic Games training camps.
