Wow. At least the people in Marwood have the option of going over the top of the estate.

I'm trying to think how people on the other side of Glanmire will get out of the place though.

People will have to drive up the back of the old Barleycorn Hotel and then down the back road.

Toto Wolfcastle

If Riverstown Cross and Sars is flooded how will they get to that back road? I suppose they could go down past O Connell Transport and take the right at the crossroads and go the very long way, ending up on the road behind Marwood.

Cork City Council is this afternoon (12/1/10) advising the public of localised flooding in parts of the city.



The Curraheen River and the Shournagh River have burst their banks resulting in localised flooding in areas including the Lee Road, Magazine Road and Doughcloyne, Togher.



Due to a combination of heavy rainfall and tidal conditions, a number of city roads have been experiencing localised ponding and flooding including Centre Park Road and Monahan Road which are currently closed to traffic.



The City Council’s Roads Crews have been working from early morning and continue to deal with problems as they arise.



Note: High tide is expected at approximately 4pm today, following which conditions can normally be expected to improve.



Cork City Council will continue to monitor the situation and advises motorists and pedestrians to travel with caution and where possible to avoid these areas.

From the County Council:

Northern Division

Local Flooding in all areas

Fermoy
No disruptions

Charleville
Charleville Scheme: Turned off outlet from Broghill Reservoir in Charleville Town last night to allow that reservoir to recharge and also supplied Buttevant from Doneraile Water Scheme to allow main reservoir at Lisballyhea, Charleville to re-charge. Main Reservoir at Lisballyhea did recharge to 2m but still well short of the 4m normal level so we are just holding and will have to consider shutting supply to another town/village tonight. Have narrowed down a serious leak on Kilmallock Road in Charleville Town and hope to pin it down today and repair it.

Doneraile Water Scheme: Was fine but feeding Buttevant last night resulted in the main reservoir dropping from 3.5m to 1.4m so we obviously cannot continue to supply Buttevant Town from this scheme.

Allow Water Scheme: Barely matched demand demand over the weekend but had to turn off the supply to Dromina last night to allow the reservoir to recharge. Will monitor the situation tonight and hopefully may not have to turn off again (but if we do it will be the turn of Liscarroll tonight).

Mallow
Reservoir serving Mallow almost empty. Higher parts of the town without water today & yesterday. Tankers available at Church of the Resurrection & Bowling Green Car Park. Flooding in several areas. Park Road now closed, barrier erected in car park and West Brook Court. Flooding predicted in Bridge Street and will be close to November flood levels.

Mitchelstown
Shortages in the housing estate of Ardmhuilinn and private estates Carrigroe in Mitchelstown and Cois Coillte in Kilworth. We have retained a tanker today located on the Northside of the town on the Dublin Road (Site of Galtee Factory)

Sarsfield road is defo closed off. After the amount of idiots that tried to drive through it in micra's and tiny cars and got stuck there aint a chance they are going to leave it open until it clears.

Any updates on town?
Id say by the mercy should be ok now after the piled up hundreds of sandbags and tonnes and tonnes on the river side of the wall.
