Ms Catherine Kirwan:

Many of our supporters have been flooded. A colleague of mine has been flooded three times. That person had the flood barrier which held but the water came up through the toilet, the sink and the floor. A pub owner, I do not want to name but who has a family business in the city centre, has been flooded many times and grew up with flood water. He does not want this solution. He loves the quays. He wants a solution that protects the city. He said climate change is here and we need to do something that protects the city. He says these walls will not work. They do not want them. A nationally well-known restaurant, which was also flooded, does not want the walls. It is not just us, the do-gooders but people who have been flooded.
