    well dont forget your life jacket !!!

    yes thats the news that is being issued everywhere aswell as your wearing your seat belt.

    unless you have a very vehicle where the engine is very high off the ground and your lucky enough to avoid the flood in your car then use the roads all you want.

    dont suppose any of ye are planning on driving through ?

    whats it like in your area etc. ???

    I was shocked to see the corner into the village of the bypass wasn't under water.

    Usually after this much rain, you can't tell where the path ends and the road starts.

    Main tramore to waterford is impassable. The back road off the old n25 is ok but loads of surface water. All other traffic is diverted this way so it's busy too

    Managed to make it through Mayo to Galway today without stopping. What's the deal? Low gears high revs through the worst of it right?
