Retailers in Midleton have called on Cork shoppers to support the community's traders this Christmas following the widespread flooding that caused devastation across the local economy. 

Owner of L’Atelier Stylist & Boutique in Midleton's Coach Horse Square, Ann O Driscoll is one of many retailers who escaped the recent flooding but has since seen a sharp decline in business over the last month.
