It’s all happened before…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Great_Britain_and_Ireland_floods
not happening in Dublin so the gov won’t care
Should that be Clonlara? I can’t see anywhere called Clonara on Google Maps (I can’t vouch for Apple maps)
Thanks, Toe Up, fixed now. Sorry.
It’s god punishing them for not returning Dimmy Tooley.
What else can you expect when you put a large dam almost 100 foot high just
before the Shannon makes to the sea, them incrementally dam up the river
in stages up to Lough Allen and them make no provision for Winter floods
in reducing storage capacity, when the Ardnacrusha Hydro scheme was
designed it was 6 turbine’s with a capacity of 600 Cm/s, only four were installed
yet the water storage is based on the 600 Cm/s discharge figure, also worth
nothing that it took almost two and half years to fill the entire system to full
capacity in 1932 and after this the fourth Kaplan Turbine was installed
