The Minister of State mentioned the opposition to the scheme. I read material from the Save Cork City campaign earlier. One of the group's tweets states:
The Little Island Tidal Barrier has been studied by world experts and would cost €140m. Walls would cost over €300m and protect much less of #Cork city. The best solution for Cork is the tidal barrier because it benefits everyone. We need an independent and transparent review.
What is his response to that?
