The National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management Team is liaising with Met Eireann and local authorities over the weather warning.
Junior Minister for the Office of Public Works Patrick O’Donovan is urging people to listen to safety advice:
“Heed the weather warning… this is a very heavy spell of rain that we are going to have. It will result in some localized flooding and will make driving conditions very hazardous while it lasts.”
