Farmland damaged during flooding to ‘compete’ for limited resources
Cork County Mayor Barbara Murray has visited the 250 acres of land along the banks of the Womanagh River in Ballymacoda, damaged as a result of a severe storm a month ago. The river, which carries large volumes of water out to sea in south-east Cork, burst its banks as the flow of water from the river hit both high tide and high winds coming in off the south coast.
The county mayor said that she would bring the matter to the immediate attention of the senior county engineer Noel O’Keeffe to ask him to explore ways that Cork County Council can help out. Mr O’Keeffe plans to discuss the matter with the Office of Public Works.
