After the flood

SIX months ago, after 14 years of courtship, West Cork couple Siobhán Holland and Mark Keohane eventually set a day for their wedding.

The ceremony was to be at St Patrick’s Church in Kilbrittan on June 26 this year followed by a reception for 66 people at the Munster Arms Hotel in Bandon. The couple were delighted.

However just two weeks later, their planned venue was under five feet of water as Bandon town suffered its worst flooding in 200 years on November 19.
