Locals in Midleton say they live in constant fear of the next rain event and are sick of the lack of action on the part of authorities

500 homes and 250 business were hit by flash flooding in East Cork last October and are now demanding interim flood relief measures

Up to 1,000 people, who say they feel abandoned, are expected to take part in a rally in the town tomorrow

Speaking to RedFM News Caroline Leahy of Midleton Flood Action group says she lives with a constant worry about her home being flooded again

"Major  anxiety and, you know, people feel feel that right across the board, it's an overwhelming sensation that you can't escape. We can't escape the rain in Ireland unfortunately and we need people to help us"
