Every man and his dog knows who owns it. There was a definite whiff of petrol about the place though.

I heard of this from a friend down there. Who owns it and why is that relevant?

The owner of the property would be well known to Gardaí he used to run a waste disposal business locally also.

Currently no. He's on a 'break'.

Would you not ask your friend who told you about it first?

Honestly I wasn't being smart but if you know someone in the area who told you about it originally I just thought you might get a quicker response from them to your questions.

FYI, I didn't post because I'm concerned, it's an open thread on an open forum, anyone can join in.

Jaysus, I'm off to bed. Tis way too late to be dealing with this. I'll leave you and your paranoia to it.

There was nobody in the house at the time of the fire.. Except a cat, which didn't survive.

Bloody Hell. Did it breach the defences? Very bad news.

snipey

just past it, the road is flooded but not too bad,they're putting up the aluminium lats on top of the wall,so they're expecting the worst.tree down at Marlfield lake,unpassable.

Stay home if possible and keep safe, folks.

snipey

night for the pub

Roycropper63

How bad is the rain and wind down there? Are they only putting up the barriers on the quay wall now?

Jakey Rolling

Sure the Quays are flooded? This might just be rainwater collecting because it can no longer drain into the river as the level is too high - there are pumps along the quays that should kick in to clear this. Non-return valves in the drains should stop the riverwater coming up the drains.

Well I was on the quay at 8pm and believe me they are flooded
water came up through man holes etc. Road completely closed. Stage 2 barriers up. Reports of flooding in old bridge Grange Newcastle and Carrick. N24 closed between Clonmel and Carrick

snipey

pumps have kicked in but it's raining so hard they're finding it hard to keep up

pudzey101

hearing sirens all over the shop , 2 flashing firetrucks past the house at some speed ,

Flooded at applegreen now according to fire service FB account. Looking like a seriously bad one, with the worst of the rain yet to come apparently.

I can only imagine what it would be like if the flood defence wasn't there...

Maybe go Nire and come by Clonmel Golf Club!

Roycropper63

It might be possible to go up what we used to know as " up the locker" to avoid applegreen but maybe some one down there can confirm, am away so am mot aware of up to date info on the old bridge by the grotto etc

Coming from dungarvan you take a right at the small cross roads before the housing estate on the rhs , then a quick left behind the house on the corner, will bring you down at the new red brick houses just before the old bridge,

Narrow road at the best of times so drive carefully

More barriers were going up at the gashouse bridge at 11am when I was there.
The water is about a meter below the top of the main floodgates across the carpark.

Unfortunately houses at the town side of the old bridge just before the glass bridge are flooded, something seems to have gone wrong here, or perhaps just rainwater trapped in that hollow with nowhere to go.

Overall the defences seem to have held but it's a close run thing.

Mountainsandh

I think the mountain road to get in via the golf club is pretty shook with lots of debris, I might leave it till tomorrow, my poor old banger has taken a fair battering up and down my own road already.
