Serious Flooding Warnings Issued
Serious tidal flooding warnings have been issued in Dublin amid predictions of heavy rain and strong winds.
City officials have closed floodgates along the River Dodder in the Sandymount and Ringsend areas over fears of high seas.
Met Eireann have also warned that tides are set to rise substantially along parts of Dublin Bay.
As a precaution, the city council has begun preventative measures in areas that have been prone to flooding.
Dublin City Council said: “High tides, combined with low atmospheric pressure and high winds over the next few days, will give rise to high sea levels and possibly large waves.
“There may be very localised wave-overtopping in parts of Sandymount and Clontarf.”
The situation will be monitored over the coming days and a stock of sandbags are on standby if required.
