Minister visits West Cork: 'When you see the damage first hand you fully appreciate the devastation'


Minister Patrick O’Donovan visited West Cork today to meet with those affected by the recent floods, and with Council officials in order to discuss plans for these areas.

“It is only when you see the damage first hand that you can fully appreciate the devastation the recent severe weather has brought to communities in Connonagh, Dunmanway and Rosscarbery,” Minister O’Donovan said in Dunmanway.

Chief Executive of Cork County Council, Tim Lucey, said it has been ‘extremely challenging’ for the communities that have been impacted by the recent flooding in the region.
