Ciaran Mullooly: Accurate early information holds key to tackling clusters It is culverted for its upper course, visible in St Anne's Park for its entire lower course, and causes flooding somewhere along its line most years. Business owners in Co Leitrim have appealed to the Government to honour commitments to undertake urgent drainage work after severe flooding on the River Shannon hit the area in the last 48 hours. The River Lee (Irish: An Laoi) is a river in Ireland. Three meat plants hit by virus will not reopen in morning For its first 200km from its start at the Shannon Pot in Co Cavan to the Parteen WeirCo Tipperary, it only falls about 15 metres. The release of waters through the Parteen Weir has now exceeded 300 cubic metres per second to relieve the pressure of swollen waters further up the along the Shannon.Geraldine Quilivan, who lives in the area, said flood levels are not at critical levels yet, but two local families have had to move to a local hotel because rising waters cut off access on the road leading to their homes.A Status Yellow rainfall warning has been issued for much of the country for tonight and Monday morning.The warning is for all of Connacht and counties Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Longford, Louth, Wicklow, Offaly, Westmeath, Meath, Clare, Limerick, Tipperary.Met Éireann said rain overnight will lead to accumulations of between 20 to 25mm, with higher totals possible in upland areas.The rain is likely to be preceded by a period of sleet and snow in parts of Connacht, Ulster and north Leinster, with hazardous driving conditions for a time.As the ground is saturated at the moment and river levels are elevated the combined effect of rainfall and snow melt may lead to some localised surface and river flooding.RTÉ.ie is the website of Raidió Teilifís Éireann, Ireland's National Public Service Broadcaster. Pet food workers hit by Covid moved out of Direct Provision centres The Irish Farmers' Association has warned that many homes and thousands of acres of land could be flooded over the coming days unless immediate action is taken by State agencies who are responsible for controlling water levels on the River Shannon.IFA President Tim Cullinan called on the Office of Public Works and the ESB to release water where possible at weirs on the south of the river over the next 24 hours.He criticised State agencies for failing to take action on the River Shannon after bad flooding in recent years.The forecaster said 25-40mm of rainfall is expected, with localised flooding likely as the ground is saturated and river levels are elevated following recent heavy rainfall.The alert is valid from 4am tomorrow until 4am on Thursday.In Co Roscommon, residents of a rural community are bracing themselves for severe flooding unless urgent remedial action is taken on a turlough flood near their homes.Flooding near the village of Rahara has already led to the destruction of almost 1,000 acres of land and a wildlife habitat.Dozens of home and land owners in the area say that unless action is taken on the turlough flood, their properties will be flooded again within weeks and for the second time in four years.Lough Funshinagh is a type of "disappearing lake" found mostly in limestone areas of Ireland, west of the River Shannon.Locals say the lough reduced its own levels by up to 20 metres every year in the last 50 years with stretches of dry weather allowing the lake to drain back into the Shannon through what is known locally as a swallow hole in the rock base. In the aftermath of the 2016 floods, Roscommon County Council and the OPW launched a study to see how the turlough levels could be reduced.Up to €100,000 was spent on the study but at the end of the process the report claimed there it could cost over €1m to pipe the floodwaters away to the River Shannon and that solution would have to face a cost benefit analysis.The outcome has angered local people who claim the full extent of the home replacement costs was not considered in the report.They asking for the OPW to complete a new study and proceed with the proposal to pump away the water.Levels on Lough Funshinagh have risen to the highest level in three years, and with heavy rainfall predicted this week, residents are bracing themselves for possible flooding.They are urging the OPW to invest up to €1m to come up with a solution to the problem.RTÉ.ie is the website of Raidió Teilifís Éireann, Ireland's National Public Service Broadcaster.

The Scheme, that comprises widening and deepening of the river channel, the construction of walls, embankments and culverts, underpinning of Bray Bridge, river regrading, soil nailing and erosion protection, provides protection against a 100-Year flood (1% Annual Exceedance Probability) for fluvial flooding and a 200-Year flood (0.5% Annual Exceedance Probability) against tidal flooding … Its three big lakes, loughs Allen, Ree and Derg, hold millions of cubic metres of water and the depths can be controlled by a series of weirs.
