    Anyone with updates on areas in Dublin 15 that are badly flooded?
    I hear Mulhuddart is closed off, the unfinished flood relief works have caused huge problems.

    They built on the flood plain of the river, so that it has no where to go and ends up breaking it's banks.

    Apparently there was a load of people arrested there last night. Tesco had the spoiled goods locked away in skips, they were broken into and the security chased away, presumably when he tried to intervene.
