Firat ‘Freddie’ Uygun is the owner of a barbershop on Main Street which was severely damaged by floods.
A business owner in Midleton, Co Cork, has described how water in his shop was “up to his knees” in just 15 minutes due to flooding from Storm Babet.
The army and civil defence units supported evacuation measures in Midleton, as more than a month’s worth of rain fell in the space of 24 hours. “When I went back literally 20 to 15 minutes, everything happened in 15 minutes, when I went back the water was up to my knees, all of a sudden and then I saw the flooring was floating on the water.”As of Thursday morning a number of homes and business were still without electricity.
