Donegal County Council has been hard at work carrying out major repair works in Inishowen following the floods.
Today a temporary bridge was built at Illies to facilitate access to homes cut off during the floods.
Burnfoot is another area receiving repair work today as the clean-up continues.
Although a lot is left to be done, the work of the Council, Defence Forces, and locals have made a huge difference to the area compared to this time last week.
Donegal County Council say; “To date 47 families have registered with us as being displaced following the Inishowen Floods last week including 21 families in Burnfoot, 14 in Buncrana and the remainder in Carndonagh, Muff, Clonmany and Malin.
“We are working closely with each family and accommodation is being offered and this will continue until all families are sorted.”
“Thanks to Defence Force personnel for all their work over the last few days. They have provided help in Pairc an Ghrianain & Lios na Greine in Burnfoot, at Riverside and Elm Park estates in Buncrana and in housing estates and other areas in Clonmany and Carndonagh.”
