Moves to stave off threat of disease after flooding

Donegal County Council has moved to stave off the threat of disease and rodent infestation in light of last week’s flooding across the Inishowen Peninsula.

Specialist teams are visiting various housing estates in a number of towns, including Burnfoot, Buncrana, and Carndonagh, left devastated by the flooding.

Dozens of families have been forced to flee their homes and have been sorted with emergency accommodation. For many, it may be months before they are able to return to their homes.
