Householders face second clean-up following ‘monster rain’

FOR the second time in a week, Dubliners were faced with a massive clean-up operation after torrential rain caused localised flooding.

Heavy downpours again wreaked havoc in some northside suburbs with flooding reported in Finglas, Glasnevin, Drumcondra, Clontarf and Marino, as council officials called the conditions “monster rain”.

Other affected areas included Lucan, Ballyfermot, Santry, Ashtown and parts of Co Kildare, as the east coast again suffered the worst of the unseasonal monsoon-like weather.
