Mr. Jim Casey:
The Bridgetown event last Christmas was the result of very intense and extreme rainfall. It was of a nature that is almost impossible to predict given its convective nature. High-intensity events of short duration can happen. Tragically, there was a loss of life there and our sympathies go out to the family of Billy Kinsella and his work colleagues at Wexford County Council.
