Flooded furniture store to reopen

Almost €1m worth of furniture will go on sale today as a furniture store reopens almost three months after it was flooded.

And Kieran Barry, who runs the two New Furniture Centre outlets in Cork — both of which were extensively damaged in the Jun 28 flood — promised lots of bargains at the Ballyvolane branch.

“There was never a question that we wouldn’t reopen. It’s more than a business. It’s our livelihood,” he said.
