Those hoping to attend the much-awaited Cork Jazz Festival this weekend are advised to plan their journeys carefully with tidal flooding expected in parts of the city over the next few days.

Cork City Council issued a statement on Friday warning road users to give themselves extra time to complete their journeys, as the popular Cork weekend coincides with the high  astronomical tides, giving rise to flooding.
