Two years on and the water damage is still evident

THE first Judy Kelly and her mother knew of the severe flooding in Cork in November 2009 was when the sewerage started coming up through her toilet and shower.

Within 20 minutes the whole ground floor of the five-bed, two-storey house in Inniscarra was a foot deep in water and sewerage. Two years on, evidence of the damage is still there.

Although a builder said reinstatement of her home would cost about €180,000 her insurance company gave her just €85,000.
