    Did you see yer wan with the thousands of Christmas tree lights on her house. If you were a bad b*st*rd, head down there discretely in the middle of the night and replace one good bulb with a bad one.

    disclaimer: presuming they are all in series (disclaimer: which they probably are not)

    It would be better to have your house burned to the ground than flooded.

    I can't even imagine the devastation of the floods.

    The dirt and the smell after the clearing of it....just before Christmas, it was just the most awful time for all concerned...

    :(

    In all seriousness, must be horrible to have your house destroyed by flooding, especially just before Christmas. Know a few people in the Lake District who will take weeks, even months, to get sorted.

    Rubbish!

    Clonlara didn't have a history of serious flooding until 2009.

    First thing they need to do before they start slapping 50 cent on a bag of coal is stop new houses being built in these areas.

    I heard somebody say on the radio the other day that the last time that parts of The Shannon were properly dredged was when the British were here.

    I drove past Athlone this week- the river looked like a lake- in Galway the river was absolutely "raging" running through the city- God knows what it left further up

    I'm from Roscommon. There's a lot of reasons for the flooding in localised areas, some of it is down to bad planning, some is down to bad management of flood plains, drains and rivers and some of it is down to historical deluges.

    There's been a lot of shlte spoken the past couple of weeks about the flooding, most of it coming from politiicans. It's a complex issue and the government will have forgotten about it completely after the next election.

    You'll see some of those houses are new, but some are decades, if not a century or two old, so yes, something drastic is happening, both with the climate, planning and maintenance.
