Over the last number of weeks we have seen the river Nore rise and rise. The Nore still quite a wild river with many tree-lined natural banks. When the river rises the floodplains turn into lakes. Trees along the riverbank where undermined and weakened are washed down the river. The City boardwalk was just above the flood level.
Not a time for swimming as the wild river Nore washes whole trees and their roots down the river
With the water at such a high level the newly completed mural at Ossory bridge looks like it is swimming in the river.
