A number of flood-prone areas in Co Cork are still waiting to hear from the OPW about a start date for long-promised flood relief projects.

While the town of Midleton suffered extensive damage during last month's Storm Babel, Rathcormac and Carrigaline were also impacted, but Cork County Council officials say they have yet to be given a start date for flood defences.
