I have questions for the Minister of State on the OPW's plans for the River Lee and the River Bride in Blackpool on the north side of Cork city. Professor Phillip O'Kane from the department of civil engineering in UCC, speaking at the Irish National Hydrology Conference last year said that an effective tidal barrier for the Lee could be built at a cost of €70 million. What is the latest OPW estimate for the plans for the quay walls? I ask him to comment on Professor O'Kane's proposals.
