A new report shows Clare would face over €800m in rebuild costs in an extreme flood event. Analysis by Gamma Risk, shows that a potential one in one-hundred year coastal disaster would impact over 2,300 residences in this county, more than a third of the total that would be affected nationwide. The company says this is largely due to the number of low-lying properties along the Shannon Estuary. Spokesperson and Principal Consultant Richard Cantwell claims homeowners in the area will find it increasingly difficult to get flood insurance in the coming years.
