VIDEO: New year, same old flooding nightmare

A new year, but sadly, the same old story for homes and businesses threatened by flooding in parts of Cork.

Frank O’Leary, of O’Leary and Daughters clothing store in Bandon, was just one of many businesspeople in the town putting out sandbags and looking for dehumidifiers.

A soaked December gave way to a wet New Year’s Day, as Met Éireann warned that up to 35mm of rain was due in Cork, as well as in eight other counties.
