Limerick grandmother at 'wits end' as house floods five times in 72 hours

An exhausted Limerick grandmother whose home flooded five times in 72 hours, said she was on the verge of a “nervous breakdown” unless something was done to alleviate flooding near her home.

The first of five 8-metre high tides in three days on the flooded River Shannon swept into Margaret and Paul Ryan’s bungalow, at Mill Road, Corbally, last Tuesday night.
