The Nenagh/Terryglass Rd (R493) is closed at Ballinderry again due to flooding.
Meanwhile there are more than 30 minor roads closed by flooding across South County Galway.
Fianna Fail TD for Galway East, Anne Rabbitte says the floods have been building since August, creating a huge economic and environmental challenge for the region.
