Storm Chandra, along with subsequent wet weather, caused significant damage to local and regional roads across Ireland, with Wexford among the hardest hit.
Wexford County Council reported an estimated €20 million cost to repair 157 damaged roads, the highest of the affected areas.
The storm, which brought heavy rain and flooding, left over 300 roads damaged nationally, 50 of which became impassable, contributing to an overall repair cost of €58.9 million across eight counties.
In total, these counties, including Wexford, were heavily impacted, with the Department of Transport committing to financial support for the repairs.
Local authorities are now assessing the full extent of the damage, with Wexford’s road network facing a lengthy recovery process.
