I'm heading to Cork for the weekend from Dublin but only to the city. Trains are delayed 30 minutes but thats it

Macca, I wouldn't bother coming down here. If you do come down here, expect to see a lot of floods this weekend as the forecast is shocking.

If its the fancy ones on the northside, then go via crossbarry and you will come into the northside and avoid most of the flooding.

Ha , fancy that

dont know if its northside/southside they are the apartments near the playground , across from the footbridge ,

If we go crossbarry way , will we have to come down by the creamery on watergate st? that was flooded last nite

What's the story with tap water btw?

I heard that 40% of the city has none at all. We have it here but I wonder if it's ok to drink?

I'd recommend boiling it before drinking if you are wary...
Maybe fill up a few large containers with tap water just in case it gets cut off? I plan on doing the same when I get home...who knows how long it could be gone for.

not at all stargate, Crossbarry brings you in by the meat factory, down kilbrogan hill and the courthouse and into the apartments.
The fancy ones are indeed beside the playground, which is severly flooded. Hope itsnot a ground floor apartment..........

So with Patrick St open I've no chance of getting work Up along Opera Lane way?

is opera house closed I wonder?

Anyone know what areas are without water in the city & for how long?

Lads, I supposed to leaving Dublin for Cork (by car) shortly. We're due to visit my g/f's sister who had her first child last night. They live in Ballincollig. I'm not sure what hospital she is in.

Should it b ok to head down?

Thanks.

Some advice from RTE.ie

12.32 Patrick Street, Grand Parade, Washington Street and South Mall in Cork city have been re-opened.
The River Lee's banks are still breached and the road from Western Road out to Ballincollig is impassable.
There is no access on the route from Blarney to Ballincollig, so motorists are advised to take the Jack Lynch tunnel instead.
