I ask the Deputy to let me finish. A tidal barrier would have been totally and utterly useless in 2009. It would not have prevented what happened in 2009. Could the event that happened in 2009 happen again? It absolutely could happen again. The reality is the Office of Public Works and Cork City Council are trying to be honest with the people. The matter is subject to a judicial review and we cannot pre-empt what will happen by way of a judicial review.
