'Sick to teeth' as water devastates home and livelihoods yet again

- 

you'll realise what it's like to have your life turned upside down. They will forget about it until the river comes up and then everyone goes through the same thing and it will be what they would have done, should have done and they still don't.

At the top of the road, the Top Oil Tyreworld Service Station and shop have been destroyed by the flood.

Products such as crisps and drinks filled the floor.

Owner Ronan Furlong suspects tens of thousands of euro worth of damage has been caused. The owner and his staff had to quickly scramble to save equipment on Tuesday morning, as the water came in quickly.

He explained: "Rapidly we were trying to get stuff up in the shop, computers and stuff like that. We were trying to get some of the machines up but the water was coming in too quickly.

"It came in so rapidly at 5am or 6am and we couldn't get stuff out. The mess afterwards is the problem.
