Fermoy Community Youth Centre are finding their feet again after a devastating flood forced the centre’s closure on Tuesday, September 8, the Centre’s planned official reopening day.
“We’ve been working hard since last Tuesday week, since the morning of the burst pipe, to get the place back in order,” manager Kieran Barry told The Avondhu.
