The extent of flooding that occurred in Listowel last November is unlikely to happen again for another 150 years.
That’s according to MWP Ireland engineering consultants who were commissioned by Kerry County Council to investigate the flood which hit parts of Listowel and the surrounding area on November 23rd last year.
The consultants recommend an early warning system be installed as a short-term mitigation.
Jerry spoke to Radio Kerry news editor Treasa Murphy who read the report and he got the reaction of Fine Gael senator Mike Kennelly from Listowel.
