Dundrum shopping centre to re-open

DUNDRUM Town Centre is due to re-open today after huge efforts to cope with the deluge that crippled the high-profile shopping outlet.

Despite the facility having 1.25 million square feet of store space on multiple storeys and over 3,000 car park spaces, just two units — the Tesco store and Rainforest Adventure Mini Golf — were unaffected by the flooding.

The centre was badly flooded when the nearby River Slang burst its banks during torrential rain on Sunday and Monday.
