For those of you unable to come to Clonmel!

The Old Bridge is under pressure as these two videos show.

From Upstream, the water is too strong to get through the arches.

2009-11-19 Updated Clonmel Flood pictures

Taken around 4pm from Gas House bridge. The Quays totally flooded, sandbags out everywhere.




And downstream, see the railing...if you can!

Further Flooding, Clonmel 2009-11-19

Constant rain has meant the Suir has burst its banks. These were taken from the Convent Bridge, near the presentation at 1pm today. This looks like it may be a big one. Forecast is bad!

Clonmel Quay flooded again.

Clonmel Quay flooded again.
After expenditure of millions so far in the Flood Alleviation scheme, the area that has not yet been walled, the Lower Quay, has flooded again due to the high rainfall.




No reports of flooded premises yet, but with the forecast not looking good, it seems likely that there will be some damage.



Water does not obey traffic signs!

October Viewing and Offer figures

In a normal year (ie, one where there is availability of finance!) November and December are our quietest months, as the run-up to Christmas, shorter days and poor weather take its toll on the property-viewing public.

This year, October has seen the start of a rapid fall-off in activity, both against last month and last year.

Here they are:

October 2008 Viewings 97 Offers 44

October 2009 Viewings 41 Offers 19

As you can see, activity is less than half of last years.

Lack of mortgage availability is the main force at work.

Web figures for this month are interesting also:

Daft.ie/pfquirke: Visitors 7,043 Page Views 8,255

www.pfq.ie : Visitors 2,574 page Views 22,396

So a total of 30,651 virtual viewers, versus 31,939 last month, approx 4% lower.

The web figures, which have been similar all year, show that interest in property remains static.

However, all else has changed.
