"There are multiple road closures across Co Wexford today with severe flooding in the aftermath of Storm Chandra. Civil Defence members have been trying to assist residents on the Island Road in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford. Many homeowners have had to move all their belongings to the second floor due to rising floodwaters. Business owners along the quays are "devastated by the damage", according to Sinn Féin TD Johnny Mythen."
""The sad thing is many of these businesses can't get insurance due to persistent flooding and will have to pay for the damage out of their own pockets during a cost-of-living crisis," he said. Both bridges in Enniscorthy have been closed off to the public as gardai advise people to stay away from the area."
Severe flooding across County Wexford followed Storm Chandra, causing multiple road closures and widespread damage.

Business owners along the quays suffered significant damage and many cannot obtain insurance because of persistent flooding, leaving owners to cover repairs during a cost-of-living crisis. Both Enniscorthy bridges were closed and gardai urged the public to avoid the quays while authorities coordinate safety measures with Wexford County Council.
