My professional expertise is on storm overflows/discharges in England & Wales more so than Eire. But apart from the climate change element & more severe weather events occurring, is it simply a case that our sewers were built c.100 years ago & drainage systems aren’t fit for purpose? @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy please take that query.
Ye are well away from the worst of it?
We’ve a stream running at the back of our place that burst out on to our road but we were grand. The last house in our estate took water. The village took an awful hammering at the bottom of our hill last night. There was 4 foot of water in the chipper

Power and water etc intact?
We need to privatise irish water
Power sound. Boil water in place, but we’ve had that for close to 3 years bar the last 2 months. It’s been an ongoing thing in whitegate. There’s murmours here that the work done at the bottom of the hill to fix the water quality meant the water had nowhere to flow. They made shit of the village

The climate nazis like @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy seem to be against putting any flood protection or warning systems in place.

If there was proper maintenance plans in place of open & pipes waterways in this country employment would be stimulated & damage from excessive flooding would be minimised. Win - Win….
Pressure points are known and basically ignored in the hope these weather only come once in a blue moon
Good to hear all ok with you pal.
I had it in my head you were out around Midleton direction (?) so was checking in on this thread.
Fucking catastrophic for many families and businesses in your area.
