THANKS AMBER FOR LETTING ME POST THIS HERE

I'm shocked to see all this. I must admit I don't watch the news that much but have never seen anything reported. Seen plenty about Cumbria and they are in a very bad state, so many bridges down and places flooded. Can't help wondering who might be next, we've had very heavy rain again overnight.

OMG this is just terrible....we take our homes for granted and seeing this is so so sad and make me realise just how lucky one is. I cant imagine the pain all the people must be going through!

I hope the Government can help them in some way!!

The government have given 10 million to help people out but as it's the Irish government they are means testing it so if you work you will get no aid at all.

If the insurance companies act the same in Ireland as they do here in the UK they'll be expecting the claimants to pay the first 10 thousand.

I must be in a bubble at the moment, but i havent seen this on the news!

you must be in a bubble so.

There have been more floods in the past few days. The river liffey burst its banks and more homes and businesses have been destroyed in Dublin and Kildare

DUBLIN

This is awful....imagine losing your home, belongings and your pets even... Children and the elderly must be really affected by this particularly.

These poor people. I donated to someone collecting for them the other day.

How can floods be happening in this day and age?? Man can go to the moon, take photos of Mars yes cannot proetect against riverbanks???
