Inishowen tries to count cost of devastation to road network

More than 300 different parts of the 1,500km road network across the Inishowen peninsula were damaged by last Tuesday’s floods.

The details were given in an updated assessment of the devastation brought to the region at a meeting of the Inishowen Municipal Authority in Co Donegal.

These 300 incidents ranged from serious structural damages to bridges to rural roads being completely washed away in the downpours.
