Attempts to rescue a woman trapped in a basement flat during last year’s floods in Dublin by breaking a window backfired as water poured in, Dublin Coroner’s Court heard.

THE body of the Filipino woman who drowned when her basement flat was submerged during last week’s flooding in Dublin will be flown home tomorrow.

GAA legend Mick O’Dwyer has led the tributes to Garda Ciaran Jones who lost his life while alerting motorists to dangerous floods.

A FILIPINO woman died when her basement flat was submerged in up to 3m of water.
