Supreme Court decision ends challenge brought by community group to flood defence system, with tender for project due next year
“It’s critical to the whole island that is the city centre – not just Morrison’s Island because when flood waters come up from the south channel and spill over the centre of the South Mall, then it’s flowing down all the side streets and into Oliver Plunkett Street with devastating effects,” he said.
Cork City Council Chief Executive Ann Doherty welcomed the Supreme Court judgment, which she said will provide an opportunity to revitalise and regenerate the area between the South Mall and the south channel of the River Lee from Parliament Bridge to Parnell Bridge. The SCCA group mounted a legal challenge in the High Court but Mr Justice Richard Humphreys found it had not made out grounds for an order quashing the permission granted to Cork City Council for the works. He also ruled that the group was not entitled to a stay on the works.
