    Lovely. Just got a warning that because of Irish Water works on Penrose Wharf my water might be out tonight. But I can't imagine they'll be digging up the streets if there's a risk of flooding (even if that isn't mentioned as one of the areas). So, I don't know if I'll be flooded tonight or bone-dry...

    Well, as far as I know, the flood risk will only be for about 2-3 hours..

    Nothing to stop them working on the problem there after that time.
