Cork Hit By Floods
High tides and heavy rain have left many parts of the country flooded once again this morning. The worst affected areas are in Cork, Waterford and Wexford - but parts of Galway, Kerry and Clare have also been hit. Met Eireann's issued an Orange weather warning that's in force until later this afternoon - but more rain and gale force winds are forecast over the coming days. This morning's flooding in the city centre has started to recede with Oliver Plunkett Street - one of the worst affected - now repoened. Some roads are still badly affected around the county however. Homeowners and businesses will now start to count the cost of the flood damage. AUDIO: Finbarr Cotter owns Newbridge Silverware on Oliver Plunkett Street.
