The National Emergency Co-ordination Group warned that the risk of flooding will remain throughout today and into tomorrow as further rain falls on already sodden ground.
"Particularly I think South Dublin caught us a little bit by surprise - we just weren’t expecting those levels of rainfall,” emergency planning boss Keith Leonard said this morning.
