    That just... classic.

    Even the DIY/construction supplies store in the background.

    Could always put houseboats on it...

    It goes to show how had the council is if they gave planning permission in this area

    It's Carrick-On-Shannon alright. Flooding is nothing new for that piece of land. Even before the retail park was built it was always flooded. To build the retail park they had to pile drive the sh1te out of it, it was so wet.

    It's Carrick alright, I was over there this evening, that's the main N4 that's flooded and it hasn't subsided at all. Plenty more examples here

    Didn't think Carrick was that bad but anyone who knows the pitch on Park Lane would know that pitch was always flooded at the best of times :pac:
