Office of Public Works officials, contractors working on the ongoing flood prevention scheme and Cork's two local authorities are to meet to examine any measures that can be accelerated to protect properties flooded in Glanmire in recent days.

OPW Minister Patrick O’Donovan made the pledge as he toured the area, spending more than an hour talking with residents in Copper Valley Vue, the worst hit of the Glanmire housing estates.
