7 cars in for repair written off by flooding

Seven cars that were in for repairs at Aidan Midas’s garage have been written off after last week’s flooding in Glanmire, Co Cork.

Another 31 cars at a garage just metres away are being examined to see if they are worth salvaging.

Mr Midas first received a text message about the flooding from his premises’ CCTV system at about 3.30am. The message said there was “trouble in the workshop”.
