Bernie Meldrum from Cork, was up visiting her sister in Baldoyle in Dublin, when a tree fell and ruined her newly owned parked car
A Cork woman who had been up in the capital to visit a sibling this weekend told of how a tree that fell during Storm Betty wrecked her car.
Ms Meldrum said: “I have a brand new car – three months old. Parked it outside my sister's driveway and I got up this morning and the big tree in front of our house is blown over during the night. She thinks the council should look into whether their recent works damaged the tree and led it to it coming down too easily.
Ms Meldrum stated: “We had a recovery truck to take the car away to the garage but it couldn’t move it because the tree is still on top of it. So, it has to come back when the tree is finished.”
