Mr. Tony Smyth:

It referred to the issue of demountable defences before because they require some intervention if they are to provide protection. There is not a large number of demountables proposed to be installed in Cork but there may be particular areas where access to a river is required. An example is in Mallow, where the main street has to be closed off with a demountable defence. There is no alternative given the way the river floods into the main street in the town. The Deputy probably knows it.
