'Devastating' scenes in Enniscorthy amid warnings flood risk will remain for another 48 hours
The storm left homes and businesses inundated with water, cars stranded, power cut and the town centre closed off after the River Slaney burst its banks
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.
