Certain Panic in Ireland as impending flood dooms all
Floods are a natural and inevitable part of life in Ireland. Many severe floods have devestated the countryside during the past decade and so it is important to know what actions to take to resist flooding.
Most of the media have refused to publish the photos which depict the suffering and horror of the recent floods there. But since I have no shame or good sense of taste I offer these photos so you can assess for yourself the terrible ordeal these plucky Irish are going through.

Disclaimer: As everyone knows, Ireland isn't all about drunks and drinking. Ireland is a place of beauty and rainbows, extravagant sporting events and parties, lively summertime festivals and scenic wonders. It is a land rich in literature, traditions and heritage. To be fair, some of the photos in the mosaic below show a picture of the other Ireland.
