    Gardaí are advising that that N81 is impassable between Citywest and Jobstown due to flooding.

    The James Larkin Road in Dublin has been closed to traffic travelling into the city because of surface water.

    The road remains open to outbound traffic and diversions are in place.

    Irony is the flood relief works are most likely to have caused this.

    The thought crossed my mind, where they have the yard for the equipment is normally flood plain.

    Would anyone care to hazard a guess how long we can expect this rain to keep up in Dublin?

    Dublin 2 is a car park, similar to the snow of last year the traffic is going no where at all.

    Just walking from Harrington St to Wexford St there. I have never ever seen anything like it in terms of rain. The drain outside 'Fresh' looked like a whirlpool

    Worst rain from one system I've seen in at least 4 years... here in Rathfarnham anyway...

    has knocked out Sky as well... so no Presidential debate for a chunk of the country... so at least there's that...

    Absolutely bucketing it down here in Ringsend. The Eastlink bridge would normally be cleared by now but not tonight. Last saw it like this in the snow in December.

    Fook, seems very bad in Leinster. Absolutely lovely balmy autumn day in Cork, but we paid our flood dues two years ago - and we'll never shut up about it! :pac:

    Road has turned into a river, haven;t seen that here in many many years. Rain heaviest all day here now and shows no signs of stopping on radar.

    Christ, haven't seen rain like this in years. I had to cycle through it earlier today. And while I had raingear, I did not have boots or wellies so my shoes are soaked. Same deal as yesterday.
