Alot of the pictures are taken from the Athlone area of the midlands of Ireland... One of the many badly affected areas. Just some pictures I put together, demonstrating the damage and chaos that so many people have had to endure over the last two weeks.

  • @hedgothebhoy

    You said it Sir! How much worse does it have to get? He needs to go...The whole lotta them do!

  • well put together Ms Tracker, we were working down there last week just outside athlone i seen some houses in clonown under water past window level it was terrible and all the farmers land and cattle it really was horrible to see. i and some of my workers from O'Connor kitchens signed up for volunteering to help in the clean up on the 12th December i hope some more trades people will sign up to help all these people in need...

  • Thank You irish feker!!

    The devastation is unreal. Clonown gets a rough time of it most winters...but this was exceptional. Heartbreaking to watch so many peoples lives ruined by such disaster.

    Fair play to you all for helping out. It's unbelievable to see the good will of the irish, and how we all pull together in such hardship. Keep up the good work, and I commend anyone like you who is doing anything to help. Good on you mate :)

see all

  • The world moves in cycles, and we see just such things now and again in all parts of the globe. The same flooding happened in Chehalis, Washington, U.S.A. at about the same time as in Ireland. Our flooding was on a 500 years cycle, but it happened two years in a row. Just help those who need help, and hope the next one is 500 years away. Ya can't beat the Irish!

  • paranel square my granny house !!

  • You said it!! Thanks for watching. Hope you liked my first ever upload on YouTube!

  • If only the people in charge can get their act together to fund these labourers, maybe they can also prevent if from ever happening again. Fingers crossed.

  • "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good... " Maybe now alot of builders, painters, plasterers, carpenters etc will get the odd job. God's way of beating this recession??!

  • It's times like these when people pull together, so I suppose some good comes out of it.
