On today’s Afternoon Show Máire spoke with David Rodgers from Met Eireann about the latest storm conditions and the outlook for the week ahead. Earlier today Clare County Council said the risk posed by tidal flooding along the Atlantic coast and Shannon Estuary has “abated to some degree during the past 36 hours”, but are urging land, home and business owners in flood prone locations to remain vigilant. David talked about how the inclement weather is set to continue into next weekend.
