It might be the highest pub in Louth, but even Lumpers Bar in Ravensdale could not escape the deluge that came on Monday night.

There is very little inside the large premises that has not been touched by flood waters.

Andrew Moore is part of the management team at the pub and says with damage in the"tens of thousands", the Government’s emergency flooding scheme is something they hope to access, to"take the sting" out of the cost. "There’s already people working here, looking to get paid as soon as. Across the weekend, we have carpenters, different tradesmen coming in, they’ll all have to be paid," he said.

Deirdre Garvey from the Irish Red Cross says that the application process is a simple one, but that businesses also need to provide photographic and video evidence of the damage.
