The National Emergency Co-ordination Group (NECG) and its related Subgroups met again today (Thursday) to continue to coordinate the response to flooding. The NECG is warning that there is a likelihood of flooding today and tomorrow, with orange rain warnings in place for Dublin, Louth, Waterford, and Wicklow, and yellow rain warnings in place for Carlow, Cavan, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Meath, Monaghan, Tipperary, and Wexford. Today’s high spring tides, combined with strong winds and surge, may cause wave overtopping and coastal flooding in exposed areas. High coastal water levels will also impede river discharge, especially at times of high tide.
