'This shouldn’t be happening': Skibbereen floods despite €18m defences

There have been calls for an investigation into why part of a West Cork town flooded during Storm Ellen last night despite a near €18m investment in flood defences.
Fianna Fáil TD Christopher O’Sullivan said the people of Skibbereen deserve answers as communities begin assessing the full extent of the storm damage which has left 164,000 people without power and with multiple reports of downed trees blocking roads.
