Warnings in place for heavy rain as Coveney confirms increased flood-relief supportSeveral counties face the risk of localised flooding on Monday after last week's storm devastated areas in the south of the country. A further status-yellow warning for Clare, Limerick, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary and Galway will remain in place until 6pm on Monday. The forecaster said heavy and persistent rain with thundery downpours will likely bring flooding, poor visibility and dangerous travel conditions. Cork County Council said it was monitoring the current warnings following “consistent and steady” rainfall overnight in the county. At this point in time there did not seem to be any significant risk of property flooding, he said.
