The standards to do with the height and the tidal surges are covered in specifications and are broken down into a one in 100 year and a one in 200 year event. The OPW is operating, certainly within the Dublin region, on a one in 200 year event. Its recent applications to An Bord Pleanála based all its work on a one in 200 year event, backed up by international criteria. Are the witnesses saying that the international criteria put in the applications for planning permission by the OPW are flawed?
