The road between Letterkenny and Fintown is closed due to flooding at Glenswilly near the national school, about 10km outside Letterkenny. Footage posted online shows a large stretch of the road flooded and covered in debris and it appears impassable. Adjoining fields are also flooded.

“The road’s in a mess ... the pipes there are too small and they can’t hold the volume of water. People are furious — it’s not good enough ... I’ve been in contact with the council to have this addressed as a matter of urgency.”
In Dublin, the city council reporting spot flooding at several locations including Portland Place, Seville Place and Merrion Road. There were also reports of flooding on Grand Canal Street on the city’s south side.
