The ESB has refuted claims it could have done more to avoid flooding in South East Clare last November.
In a presentation to Clare County Council, Senan Colleran, the Plant Manager at the Ardnacrusha Power Station, repeated the claim that the flooding was unavoidable due to unprecedented rainfall.
ESB figures show that the peak level recorded at Lough Derg was over one foot higher than the previous record , and that water processed through the Parteen Weir was of a "far greater volume" than in other instances of flooding.
