Devastated businesses in Cork city centre are in clean up mode following the worst flooding event to hit the city in years.
In some areas, a metre of water hit beleaguered businesses, many of whom had been making last-minute preparations to try and maximise the last two days of trade before the new Covid-19 restrictions come into effect tomorrow evening.
