‘We spent day getting rid of dirt and filth’

Music shop Pro-Musica has been trading on Oliver Plunkett St for 30 years — but Tuesday night was the worst flooding they had seen in some time.

Even though they had sandbags at the door, 3ft of water still poured into the premises through its walls, drains and shopfront.

The clean-up won’t be complete until the shop’s wooden fittings have dried out, and even though they lifted all stock, they are still expecting repair works to cost up to €10,000.
