Submerged?

Saying that Belfast and Dublin were 'submerged' makes it sound like they were both completely underwater which, as far as I am aware, was not the case. --Helenalex (talk) 00:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images?

Perhaps some pictures and maps [showing the counties/towns/areas in Dublin & Belfast affected] would be appropriate? 86.155.110.236 (talk) 17:13, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
