Dublin Civil Defence and Kerry Civil Defence worked great together today to assist the 16 families cut off by a landslide in Rossbeigh Co. Kerry. The Hagguland was tasked to make a route for a jeep to assist the community in the event of an emergency. The route was made a lot easier as a result of the expertise of both Counties. #kerry

Colleagues,
Met Éireann have issued an ORANGE rainfall warning for Connacht, Donegal, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Tipperary (from 00:00 hours Fri, 11-Sep-2015
until 23:00 hours Fri, 11-Sep-2015 ) . A YELLOW warning is in operation for Leinster, Cavan, Monaghan and Waterford (from 12:00 hours Fri, 11-Sep-2015
until 06:00 hours Sat, 12-Sep-2015 ).
We contacted Met Éireann this morning to obtain an assessment for the next 24 hour period. The current forecast indicates that widespread heavy rain will affect the West, South and the North West regions. This weather system is moving slowly due to a blocking high pressure system to the East of the country, resulting in more intense rainfall in affected areas. The rain will start later this evening and may clear the South West by early tomorrow, but the timing is uncertain due to the blocking high. Spot flooding is likely and may disrupt travel/ road network in places.
