Cork council says flood emergency plan still incomplete over a year after Storm Babet

Cork County Council has confirmed it still does not have a finished flood emergency plan more than a year after the county bore the brunt of Storm Babet.
The council has repeatedly promised the plan would be made public but has now said it is still at a draft stage. It could be weeks or months into winter before it is completed.
