Clare County Council is appealing to motorists to once again exercise caution on the roads during Sunday and Monday as further heavy rain is forecast.
Met Éireann has put in place a Yellow Rainfall Alert for Clare with outbreaks of heavy rain possibly leading to accumulations of 30-50mm up to Monday afternoon.
Clare County Council says road staff and Clare County Fire & Rescue Service personnel are monitoring the situation and will attend to local spot flooding where it occurs.
The local authority says motorists should drive with extreme caution and should allow extra time for journeys. Property owners in areas affected by flooding during recent days are also urged to be vigilent.
When driving in wet conditions drivers are reminded to drive with dipped headlights at all times, allow extra distance between their vehicle and the vehicle in front, allow extra space between their vehicle and vulnerable road users such as cyclists and motorcyclists, and to not attempt driving through flooded roads.
Pedestrians & Cyclists are also being advised to wear a high visibility jacket or reflective armband.
