Hi everyone
Sad to say my house was flooded this evening in Ballymun, Dublin 11. Im not there at the moment. Im on holidays in Co. Wicklow. My daughter phoned me with the bad news. Neighbours and friends have helped to clean up and dug up part of the back garden to try and get more drainage for the water run-off. I understand other houses in the immediate area were also flooded up to knee high. Im heading back up in the morning to survey the damage for myself.
Has anyone else been directly affected by these floods? I know the rains have been bad but the risk of flood in Dublin these days is getting ridiculous. In my area I am putting it down to too much building in one small area, i.e. the regeneration project. Almost all the green spaces have now been built on and there is nowhere for the water to go. Im beside myself with anger about this.
