Flooding inside shop in Midleton, more awful images still being shared after a terrible day in parts of the South. Really hope we don’t see another event like this soon but sadly they are becoming more likely and a tough few months again.“Workers more than likely would have worked from home if they can and cars that were damaged would not have been damaged.This accident occurred in east Cork when floods washed away a drain under a road.“It's an absolute disgrace,” he said.
“We had a very bad flood in 2015 and we were promised a flood alleviation plan would be put in place,” he said.Cork city going 'car free' for the first-time ever
