Niall Healy, the director of Roads and Transportation at Cork County Council has confirmed that Midleton has not reopened, while a traffic management system is in place along the Main Street.

He also added that the Woodlands Estate, which has around 20 houses, is a major cause for concern "in terms of potential flood damage", while a crew have also been on standby overnight, looking at the flood risks. 

Healy did reveal that while the N25 road from Cork to Waterford has reopened, road infrastructure has been damaged, "in the way of road subsidence, and roads have collapsed, in some cases roads have been washed away by the force of the water".
