Residents encouraged to attend meetings on river flooding problem

PEOPLE were urged last night to attend a series of public meetings as part of a major study on flooding in the Lee catchment area.

Meetings will take place in Ballincollig, Macroom, Blarney, Glanmire, Midleton and Carrigaline to give people a chance to air their views on how flooding has affected them.

Suggestions will also be taken on board about what can be done to prevent flooding along the Lee.
