The findings of an ongoing investigation into why there was a failure in a €30m-plus flood relief scheme in a North Cork town will hopefully ensure it never happens again.

Last February a software malfunction is believed to have been responsible for flooding of some businesses in Brian Boru Square, on the northside of Fermoy.
