Ciara Douglas said her shop in Downpatrick was ‘completely submerged in water’ after heavy rainfall.

A business owner in flood-stricken Downpatrick has pleaded for more support to repair the town centre after her shop and several others were “completely submerged in water”.

Ms Douglas, who has always lived in Downpatrick, said the water had been contaminated after barrels used for heating oil started to float during the flooding and “emptied into the water”. Ms Douglas started her business, located just off the Market Street area, on October 11 last year to help people celebrate special occasions.

“We’ve lost everything, we’ve lost our floor, we’ve lost the curtains, there were hats and gloves that were still left, all our padded hangers are gone.”
