Alan Mahy lives near Moore’s Bridge which collapsed, causing the river to flood his home in Knockgriffin near Midleton.
Speaking to RedFM News, Alan says his family are still not back in their home, and waiting for the insurance payout:
"There's three girls and the two of us, we needed our own space, we're renting in Fota in the lodges so that brings its own expense and we're dealing with the insurance, we were lucky enough to have insurance, but what we lost wasn't fully covered by the insurance."
