    Anyone know what the response was? Media is a bit sketchy.

    Rte have
    "Overnight, rescue workers, including the Valentia Coast Guard, were called to assist in helping people whose homes were flooded."

    I assume they mean the Coastal Radio station in which case they wouldn't be on the scene.

    Confirmed.
    Community River Rescue - Limerick City (First Water Rescue on scene)
    Coastguard Helicopter- Shannon
    Helicopter #2 - ? Waterford ?
    Civil Defence - ? Limerick county I assume?

    What about RNLI, Ballybunion Coastguard, Kerry Civil Defence, Limerick City Civil Defence, Fire Service - Limerick/ Kerry?

    To an extent, it'll depend on whether a major emergency was declared.When it comes to media reports, accuracy is not something I've come to expect when they're talking about emergency service responses.
