The campaign group, Save Cork City (SCC), says it is always open to discussion after the Taoiseach called on the group to pull the plug on their legal challenge to a key flood defence project.

SCC has mounted a legal challenge against An Bord Pleanála’s decision to grant planning for the Morrison’s Island public realm scheme with blended flood defences which has been designed to remove 80% of the flood risk to Cork city centre.
