Public meeting held in Limerick over flooding
A public meeting is being held in Limerick later to examine the impact of last month's flooding in Newcastle West.
A month’s worth of rain fell in just five hours on August 1, causing the River Arra to burst its banks for the first time in living memory.
Millions of euro worth of damage was caused, and some residents have still not returned to their homes.
Today's joint meeting of the County Council and the local Business Association will hear the results of a Severity and Impact Report.
