Anger over material deleted from flooding report

A FIANNA FÁIL member of Limerick County Council yesterday challenged council officials over the deletion of information from a consultant’s report commissioned into the Newcastle West floods.

Councillors have called a special meeting of the council for next Wednesday seeking answers to why copies of the report given to councillors in Newcastle West were “edited”.

Up to 30 houses and business were badly flooded on August 1 when the River Arra overflowed.
