Hundreds of books have been destroyed after a popular Dublin city centre bookstore was flooded.
Staff at Chapters Bookstore on Parnell Street had a nasty surprise yesterday morning when they discovered the entire front of the store was flooded by a leak from the upper floor. They had to close down the store for the day in order to deal with the situation and clean the shop up.
Chapters chief Mick Finucane said: “There was a leak from the floor above us and it happened the other night. When we came in yesterday morning, the place was flooded, the whole front of the store was extremely wet and lots of books were damaged.
