It is down to geographic reasons in terms of the river Suir flowing through the town and tending to flood. Work is ongoing on a flood defence system to help deal with the problem.
Clonmel is built on a flood plain, much like the Egyptians built on the nile delta, its because historically the river flooding would have yielded fertile ground, and later a source of trade.
The flood defence system will not work in clonmel due to the age of the town, only certain sections of roads can be stopped from flooding, leaving the entire "old bridge" part of the town liable to flood the whole time. Currently only a small section of the flood defence system has been implamented, the rest has yet to materalise.
