City meeting to discuss future flood defences

SOME of those worst hit by the recent devastating floods in Cork are due to meet next week to discuss how they can prepare for future similar disasters.

It will be the first time the city’s flood victims have come together to dissect the events of November 20 last in a bid to ensure they are ready for the next flood.

The public meeting has been called by residents of the Sacred Heart Parish – many of whom live along the Western Road and the Mardyke.
