Meanwhile, in Kinsale - a big chunk of the road fell into the sea

A giant hole in the road outside the Bulman pub has been described as 'the worst structural damage' in Cork.

Powerful waves last night tore away a large section of the road and wall outside the well-known Bulman bar in Summercove, Kinsale.

The below picture posted to Facebook by the Bulman's owner Pearse O'Sullivan shows the sea rushing in through the hole and coming perilously close to the pub's front door.
