Protest Tuesday 2nd October

May 10, 2012, 1:14 am

Protest Against the Lack of Action by Clonakilty Town Council with Regard to Flood Measures

Con McLoughlin, Clonakilty Chamber of Commerce Flood Committee writes: It is now exactly three months since the disastrous floods of June 28th and one month since the smaller but potentially as devastating flood of August 28th. Since that time, aside from repairing the wall in the car park in Kent Street, nothing has been done to prevent another flood happening to Clonakilty.

The Town Council HAS been allocated funds for temporary flood relief. There are steps the councillors could take immediately to prevent the flooding of the town centre.

Public meeting cancelled at short notice

The meeting that was called by the Lord Mayor to discuss the situation with regard to flood relief has been called off at short notice. However, today, Tuesday 2nd of October there is a meeting of the Town Council itself at 6.30 at the Town Hall in Kent Street.

We need to demand that the Council takes action NOW to prevent another disaster happening to Clonakilty. Meet up at 6.00

Bring placards and banners and make your voice heard!

Several fun ideas are already in train to raise money for this. If you would like to help but can't get involved directly in the renovation work, why not organise a fundraiser and send the proceeds to the Clonakilty Flood Relief Fund.

Flooding - Emergency Payments

June 30, 2012, 3:20 pm

≪ Previous: Fun Fundraising

Flooding - Emergency Payments

Under the supplementary welfare allowance (SWA) scheme, the Department of Social Protection may make a single payment to help meet essential, once-off, exceptional expenditure, which a person could not reasonably be expected to meet out of their weekly income. These payments are known as exceptional needs payments (ENP)

In addition to the payment of ENPs, SWA legislation also provides for assistance in the form of an urgent needs payment. In certain circumstances, this payment can be made to persons who would not normally be entitled to SWA. Examples of situations where such assistance may be provided would be in the aftermath of flooding or a domestic fire where the immediate needs, such as food, clothing, fuel, household goods and perhaps shelter, of the people affected may be met by a UNP in cash or in kind.
In response to the current flooding situation, Departmental Officials (former Community Welfare Officers) are providing individuals with emergency payments to offset immediate needs e.g. assistance with the purchase of food, clothing, fuel and household goods. Officials have made house to house calls to individuals they have identified as being vulnerable at this difficult time. In addition, emergency clinics may be established if required to offer help to households.
The relevant contact details for persons in Cork affected by the flooding are:
For South Lee catchment – (021) 4923116/(021) 4923111 [Call for details of clinic location closest to customer]

For North Lee catchment – (021) 4923856 [Call for details of clinic location closest to customer]
For Clonakilty area - 023 / 8833409 [Community Welfare Office, O'Rahilly Street, Clonakilty]
Persons in other parts of the country experiencing hardship as a result of the recent flooding should contact the local Departmental official administering the SWA scheme who may be able to offer assistance.

What happened?

In the small hours of Thursday 27th June, 2012 a torrential rainstorm dropped 2 inches of rain in just two hours causing the River Feale, which flows through Clonakilty, to swell rapidly and burst its banks. Unprecedented flooding resulted, causing damage to almost every home and business in the centre of the town. An immediate community response was mobilised and the streets of the town were cleaned and tidied by the evening of the same day, though structural damage remains to be repaired.

However, behind the front doors of shops and homes the flooding has wreaked havoc for many people and the town is now looking to deal with that in the most constructive and effective manner possible.

Though we all knew it anyway, Clonakilty more than proved how wonderful its community is in the immediate aftermath of the flood. The determination from every quarter to see things put right is heartening for us all.

We’ll make good on this. Depend on it.

Communications, Relief and Rebuilding

This website will be a central online communications point for everyone who wants to help toward repairing the damage done. For businesses, for individuals and for the community as a whole it’s vital for us to work to in a coordinated and cooperative way over the coming months. Fundraising will be needed. Materials, equipment and other things will be wanted. Offers of time and skill have already been pouring in. We need to organise them to maximum effect. The Town Council, Chamber of Commerce, GAA, Favour Exchange and other groups are at present planning how best to respond – plans will be made available here as soon as possible.

On this website there are opportunities to participate in many different ways. Links to information and ways of registering your wish to be involved are given via the tabs at the top of the page. Use the contact page to register, send an email or text us information about how you would like to help put our town back together.

Onwards and Upwards!

If, having looked at the website you still have questions please don’t hesitate to contact us with your queries. We are asking everybody to be an ambassador for the flood relief effort: family and friends throughout Ireland or abroad – please encourage them all to help from where they are.

With thanks

Take the famous Clonakilty goodwill, mix in the embarrassing sight of elderly men disco dancing, and add what Independent journalist Rozanne Stevens calls "the genius" of the black pudding burger and you have? Well, you decide. Rozanne's published article is below, and here is a photo awaiting your captions.

Rozanne writes in the Irish Independent

"I was at a barbecue recently, but one with a difference. It was organised by Clonakilty Rugby Club in Scannell's Bar in Clonakilty, in aid of flood relief for businesses and homes affected by the recent floods. This is down to the incredible efforts and team spirit of the local community. Everyone has pitched in and it really shows.

The weekend I was there, the Random Acts of Kindness Festival was on, which is an additional feel-good initiative. With poetry readings, theatre tickets, cups of coffee and hair braiding among the activities on offer, anyone roaming the streets got a lovely surprise.and hair braiding among the activities on offer, anyone roaming the streets got a lovely surprise.

In this same spirit, local businesses donated everything needed for the barbecue. But it wasn't the normal burger and banger barbie as the Clonakilty Black Pudding Company donated sausages and burgers with a twist -- the new Clonakilty black pudding burger. Such a simple idea but a genius one!

They took quite a while to barbecue, due to their size, but the black pudding in them kept the burgers nice and moist and deliciously spiced. Topped with Clonakilty rashers, blue cheese, tomatoes, grilled red onions and lettuce, it was quite a mouthful!"

CLON ACCOUNTANTS PROVIDING PRACTICAL ASSISTANCE TO FLOOD APPLICANTS

Three Accountancy Companies in Clonakilty have pledged free support services to local flood victims who may be "intimidated" by the Application Form for the Government's special Humanitarian Flood Fund announced two weeks ago. At a joint meeting of Clonakilty Flood Support Groups on Tuesday, the issue of some people not applying to the €10 million fund allocated for Cork Flood victims was raised.

The Mayor stated: "We have found that there are some people, particularly the elderly, who are not applying for this Government fund, because they feel intimidated and nervous in relation to some questions on the Application Form. I have no doubt that many of these people, if they applied would qualify, and would receive funding from the €10 million special fund set up for Cork flood victims.

Our committee was adamant that these people should be assisted in every possible way to encourage them to apply for funding from the Humanitarian Relief Fund. We felt that if these applicants were able to receive guidance from professional people in a confidential setting who would assist them in filling up the application form, it would be of great benefit and comfort to them, and would mean the difference between applying and not.

Of the Accountancy Companies in Clonakilty Town, three have volunteered their services free of charge in order to assist flood victims in filling up the Humanitarian Aid Application Form, which is available from the local Community Welfare Office, Ms. Patricia Minihane. This €10 million is there for private house owners whose lives and homes have been devastated by the flooding of five weeks ago. You are entitled to this funding, so please do not let a daunting form stop you from applying.

There is free, confidential assistance now available from professional people who are used to dealing with complicated forms, and they are waiting on you to call them.

The participating Accountants are as follows:

(1) Rosemarie Lahiff, 1st Floor, 19 Connolly St., Clonakilty Tel:

023-8836791

(2) Timothy Coughlan, 10 Rossa St., Clonakilty. Tel:

023-8833763

(3) Séamus O' Brien, Snugboro Road, Clonakilty Tel:

023-8833890

The advice is to ring the people above to make an appointment rather than just calling in, and they will gladly help you out."

(PS - Two other companies were also approached, but very much regretted that they had to decline to offer help. In ordinary circumstances they would be delighted to, but one was ironically flooded on 28th June and staff are working in a crammed alternative location, and the second has a lot of staff on holidays at present and for the coming few weeks, and therefore felt that firm wouldn't be able to provide the service in the speedy manner he would like to)

Presentation from The Flood Committee of the Clonakilty Chamber of Commerce to the Office of Public Works with regard to Flooding Problems in Clonakilty, West Cork 16th October 2012

PROBLEMS IN CLONAKILTY SOUTH
S1. LADY’S CROSS, DUNNES STORES, THE MILES

Problem: Meeting of streams and water from developments resulting in water flowing into town. There is inadequate drainage and diversion of surface water away from town.;

Solution: Divert part of River Feale to run to marsh at Cloheen Strand / Whites Marsh ( which is already OPW property)

S2. MEETING OF PARK ROAD/YOUGHALS/LAMB STREET/ JIM HURLEY TERRACE

Problem: Surface water from Cloheen East flowing onto bypass through Lamb Street onto Connolly Street, Rossa Street and Casement Street which results in the flooding of Connolly Street, Casement Street and Clark Street

Solution: A. Run a storm drain from underneath Clonakilty Lodge through agricultural land to meet the bay at the sewerage plant

B. Run a pipe from Cloheen East to Whites marsh

S3. KENT STREET, ROSSA STREET, CONNOLLY STREET
Problem: Low lying streets without adequate drainage. Suffers flooding from hotspot 2 and from the river bursting its banks on Kent Street

Solution: A. An emergency storm drain needs to be laid going through in Hartes Courtyard and then left into river. Estimated distance of pipe is 40 meters.

B. The emergency reconstruction of the wall in Kent Street is necessary

C. Rebuilding of the temporary wall in the car park that collapsed in the flood of June 28th to be considered.

D. All damaged bridges and drains to be accessed, enlarged and repaired as necessary

S4. WATERFRONT, EUROSPAR

Problem: Build up of water flowing from Cloheen and adjacent streets. Inadequate drainage. There is also a danger here from tidal flooding.

Solution:

A. Another emergency storm drain needs to be laid to take water to bay side of Clark Street Bridge.

B. Construction of a tidal barrage

S5. RICHY’S, ONEILL SPORTS – JUNCTION OF ASH STREET, WOLFE TONE STREET AND CLARK STREET

Problem: Water from community college, Ash Street, and James P O’Regan road floods this area which is also susceptible to tidal flooding and has inadequate drains

Solution: Storm drain with pipe running adjacent to An Sugan and entering the bay on the bypass road and fitted with a non return valve.

S6. TOBAIRIN ROAD
Problem: Major surface water flowing down Old Timoleague Road/ Tobairin Road flooding Fax Bridge area

Solution: New storm drain with pipe through agricultural land through to the bay; this solution can also be linked into a drain on Convent Road

S7. CLONAKILTY BAY
Problem: The culmination of heavy rain, south east winds and high tides has historically caused Clonakilty to flood.

Solution: The erection of a flood barrage at Gilman’s Point (the narrowest part of the bay). Planning permission was sought and granted for this project but it did not go ahead.

PROBLEMS IN CLONAKILTY NORTH
N1. GAA PITCH

Problem: Flood plains have been built on and excess water is going into river Feale which is bursting its banks at Dunnes Stores and from there flowing via Western Road and flooding the town centre.

Solution:

A. Allowing flood plains and farmland adjacent to the river to flood and arranging compensation for farmers. Creating holding ponds adjacent to Dunnes Stores.

B. Divert the river to Whites Marsh

N2. TAWNIES LOWER

Problem: Excess surface water flowing down hill from developments is culminating in flooding at the oil depot area on Western Road.

Solution: Build a storm drain at the junction of graveyard car park to holding ponds via river.

N3. TAWNIES LOWER, BARRACK HILL, OLD CHAPEL LANE, MCCURTAIN HILL

Problem: Water from higher ground flowing down McCurtain Hill, Old Chapel Lane and Patrick’s Street Hill onto Main Street ( Pearse Street)

Solution: Storm drain at the top of Patrick’s Street Hill going across Old Chapel Lane meeting drain on McCurtain Hill going to Community College at the back of Strand Road and entering the bay at Faxbridge. This would alleviate flooding on the Pearse Street /Strand Road area.

The flood committee of the Clonakilty Chamber of Commerce would like to take this opportunity to invite the representatives of the Office of Public Works to visit the sites included in this presentation.
