Message just received from Dublin City Council:
Due to severe rainfall this evening the Major Emergency Plan for Dublin has been activated to deal with the flooding.
Flooding in Dublin South East, Monday 8pm
Reports are coming in from various parts of the constituency about flooding on public roads and in houses and flats due to the continuing heavy downpour.
Out of hours and emergency numbers for Dublin City Council are currently not working. This matter is being looked in to. Council staff have been called out to deal with blocked gullies and drains. However problems are being experienced throughout the city.
The primary response service in this instance is Dublin Fire Brigade. Every unit is currently out on call dealing with individual cases of flooded homes as well as broken down cars and other flooding related issues. Extra services have been called in but the Fire Brigade can only deal with problems on a call by call basis. People who are experiencing flooding in their homes are asked to get in touch with their local station and to remain patient as they will be dealt with in turn.
Updates will follow as we have them.
