Calls for Bandon River to be dredged
A rally was held in the town over the weekend.
Fresh calls are being made for the immediate dredging of the Bandon River.
It follows a demonstration in the town on Saturday night which aimed to keep the spotlight on the need for flood defences in the area.
Many properties have suffered flood damage in recent weeks due to a number of storms and members of the local community have hit out at the rate of progression in flood measures for the town.
Minister of State for the OPW Simon Harris says everything is on track for the Bandon Flood Relief Scheme but that he could not guarantee there would be no further delays.
Speaking to RedFM News, Mary McSweeney from Friends of Bandon says they are calling on Minister Harris to save their town.
