Families whose homes were destroyed in a “man made” flood have demanded answers as to what led to the “disaster”.
The Minister for the Office of Public Works and Flood Relief, Kevin 'Boxer' Moran, visited the affected areas on Sunday and launched an investigation into the matter. Graham O’Mara added: “I’m feeling pretty unwell at the moment, everything I’ve worked for my whole life, I see it in a distressed state. It’s not just a house, it’s our home where we are raising our lovely ten year old boy. It’s full of memories, full of life, full of energy.”
“The OPW gave an assurance on the Saturday that they would carry out, and, expected that they would cover the breach - that did not happen. And, that consequently then, there was nothing to stop the water when the high tide came Saturday night.” On Monday morning, Limerick Fianna Fáil TD Willie O’Dea claimed the Office of the Public Works had informed him they were taking “full responsibility” for the flooding incident.
