Despite it being the summer Kilkenny was hit with flash floods in June.
Between Friday, June 16, and Monday, June 19, more than 100mm of rain fell in Kilkenny, the majority of which came down in three short but devastating torrential bursts.
Business premises on John Street and Patrick Street took on floodwater on Saturday and Monday, where part of the road surface was damaged.
Water also entered properties on Lord Edward Street and damage was only limited there thanks to immense community spirit as residents joined forces to repel the water.
In Newpark Drive, there were reports that the street’s sewage system had been overwhelmed, forcing contaminated water onto the streets.
Free sandbags were made available to locals.
