Homes still without water and power as Storm Brian arrives

Irish Water is working to restore services to thousands of homes and businesses around Cork who still don’t have a supply.

The utility has deployed tankers and static tanks in a number of locations where supplies are still out, while council crews are still taking bottled water to people living in remote areas.

It comes as the county braces for flooding today as Storm Brian arrives on the south coast this evening, while key transit routes in the county remain blocked.
