Normal life resumes for beleaguered Tolka flood victims

SEVEN months after being driven from their homes by floodwaters, life for some north city Dublin residents is now only getting back to normal.

While the Office of Public Works is erecting a wall to prevent the Tolka bursting its banks again and prevent a recurrence of the November 14 disaster, workmen can be seen repairing some of the worst hit family homes.

Molly Delaney of Richmond Road, who is in her 80s, has been returning every day to the house she called home for over 50 years.
