Government accused of failing Cork flood victims

THE Government was accused last night of “completely failing” some of the worst affected victims of the devastating flood which struck Cork city last November, causing an estimated €100 million damage.

Residents of the Mardyke area, which bore the brunt of the mini-tsunami which engulfed the city on November 19, gathered at a public meeting for an update from community leaders on their campaign for answers about what caused the disaster.

But they were told that exactly 11 months since the flood, they are still no closer to those answers.
