Midleton valet offers free service to cars damaged by Storm Babet

One of the areas worst hit was Midleton in East Cork, with the Independent reporting over one metre of flood water gushing through parts of the town's Main Street, damaging both businesses and residential properties. In the wake of the damage, local valet business KK Valeting is offering drying services for free to cars affected. Taking to social media, the business asked for the word to be spread around, writing: "Any cars flood damaged, need to be dried out etc, bring them down to us, we will sort ye out free of charge, share around lads".
