There is a report about flooding in different areas on the website of the Minister of State's Department. Two of those areas are in Kilkenny city. One has never flooded in 25 years. That report, however, is being used by the insurance company as a reason not to give a quotation for flood insurance. As a result, the property owners in that estate are not able to sell their properties.
