FLOODING: Delays in insurance payouts ‘a disgrace’ says Cork victim

Flood victims have hit out at delays processing their insurance claims.

Aisling McCoy, who has been living with her family in a hotel since their home in Copper Valley Vue, Glanmire, Co Cork, was destroyed by floods last week, said she and her neighbours could be waiting weeks for an insurance payout after red-tape issues emerged.

Her home was one of eight in the estate which were destroyed in a flash flood caused by surface run-off from the estate’s entrance road on December 29.
