A €6m scheme set up in the wake of Storm Babet in order to protect homes and businesses from further flooding in Cork has only carried out works on 74 properties, despite 725 being damaged.
Members of the Midleton and East Cork Flood Protection Group are protesting outside County Hall in Cork City to express their frustration.
