City Hall ‘trying to distort true position’, says solicitor for Save Cork City

A solicitor for campaigners behind the successful legal challenge of the first major flood defence scheme in Cork has accused City Hall of trying to “distort the true position” about why its planning was quashed.

Save Cork City’s solicitor also accused the city council of adopting an “aggressive approach” and “oppositional stance” to the group’s High Court challenge to the €6m Morrison’s Island scheme which has now been delayed following a European Court of Justice ruling.
