Retailers furious at city council

TRADERS hit by Cork’s worst flood since 1962 launched a blistering attack on the city council yesterday.

Finbarr Cotter, who owns three shops in the city centre, said the area was a disaster zone.

“There was no sign of council workers during the height of the flood. When they’re looking for rates, they’re all over you. But when you’re looking for them, you can’t find them,” he said outside his Emerald China shop on Princes Street.
