Skibbereen’s flood emergency plans a model for all Cork areas says council

Cork County Council is encouraging communities to adopt an emergency model like Skibbereen Flood Relief Committee’s (SFRC).

Council chief executive Tim Lucey said that while community self-help response varies around the county, the one in Skibbereen is “more organised and sophisticated”.

Mr Lucey praised SFRC for the structured support and response arrangements it has for the local community.
