Southern Ireland weather never seems to get a mention! Looking at the radar
it would appear that Central and Western Southern Ireland are in the middle
of at least eight hours of torrential rain. I don't ever recall seeing such
a large stationary mass of rain with pink and red levels of intensity for
such a length of time.

There was severe flooding in parts of the ROI. In Cork alone damage is
estimated at £90 million. Useful article he

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/.../breaking1.htm where
these words appear:

"Massive damage was caused all along the western approach to Cork city
centre, after flood waters surged, following the release by the ESB of a
large volume of water from Inniscarra Dam eight miles from the city"
