Families at The Haven housing estate in Rosslare Strand are in temporary accommodation tonight after being forced to leave seven homes that were impacted by severe flooding during a weekend of heavy rain in south Wexford.
Local Cllr Jim Codd visited the scene today to support the residents and empathise with them in what is “an exceedingly difficult situation”. “I intend to demand that real solutions are found to these ongoing flooding issues,” said Cllr Codd, who added; “A big word of thanks to all those that are battling the flood waters.”
Director of Services at Wexford County Council Eamonn Hore feels that everyone will have to wait until the flood waters to abate before a resolution is found.
Wexford County Council has supplied two industrial sized pumps to pump water from the houses, but the water keeps returning! Mr Hore described the flooding at The Haven, which is opposite Rosslare Golf Club, “desperate” for the homeowners who are now in temporary accommodation.
