We have come across an interesting sideline story to the flooding which occurred at Passage East in County Waterford on Wednesday night. We received the below message from Aoife Millea, who shared numerous flooding images from Passage with us during the week.
According to Aoife: "the high tides in passage east the other day did bring something good ! my son is 9 and found a message in a bottle on the beach the following day. it was from 2 girls aged 12 from Montreal in Canada, they were on holidays in gaspesie (Quebec, Canada) when they threw the bottle in , in 2004 !! so 8 years later it arrived in passage east !!! he is chuffed to bits !"
