#DUBLIN BAY – The Irish Sailing Association has urged Dublin City Council to defer next week's vote on flood defences at Clontarf promenade.

The sailing body has written to Dublin City manager John Tiernan arguing that the Council did not allow for any public consultation of the plan which involves mounds or walls up to and above 7ft high.

The association is supporting the efforts of Clontarf Yacht and Boat Club and other residents and businesses who say the plan does not take into account the amenity value of the surrounding waters.
