A care centre on the northside of Cork City has had to cancel all appointments for the rest of Friday as a result of a flood.

St Mary’s primary care centre, located on Baker’s Road, Gurranabraher, has had to suspend all services at the facility. 

The other buildings on the St Mary’s Health Campus are not affected by the issue.

“There has been a flood on site at St Mary’s Health Campus and this has affected all of the electrics and safety systems,” the spokeswoman said.
