What's going on with the proposed National Children's Science Centre?

from Behind the Story · host RTÉ News

An agreement between the OPW and a charity to build a National Children's Science Centre has run aground. The OPW says it doesn't have the money and no government department wants to take responsability for it however it was revealed on Thursday that the building MUST be delivered by 2029. So what is going on? Public Affairs Correspondant with the Irish Times, Martin Wall joins Fran and and Laura to explain what's happening and why the OPW are saying there could be less flood defences if they are forced to see this project through. Later, Sustainability and Marketing lecturer, Ciarán O'Carroll discusses the ongoing row around oat milk and why's it's not 'milk'! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
