Flood defences have been put in place by Clare County Council at Springfield in Clonlara, which is located adjacent to the River Shannon, and which is vulnerable to flooding during periods of heavy rain.
This flow is high, up from 245 cubic metres yesterday, and means houses and lands in the area could flood as a result. The Springfield area of Clonlara in Co Clare was one of the worst affected areas in the country during the bad flooding periods of 2015 and 2009, and is monitored regularly during times of persistent rain and when the lower River Shannon is swollen.
"As expected at these river levels", said Westmeath County Council, there is water on the minor roads in the lower parts of the town.
