Emergency services are advising motorists from making any unnecessary journeys this lunchtime, with roads throughout the county flooded once more.
Inspector John Ryan of the Clare Garda Division has told Clare FM that they're advice for motorists is to postpone their journeys if possible, and to avoid driving through floods.
Flooding has occured right throughout the county.
The N85 Inagh to Ennistymon Road is closed half a kilometre northwest of Inagh. The road is open from Miltown to Inagh and from Inagh to Ennis.
Flooding has also been reported on routes in East Clare – a full list of affected roads is available below.
The Council says a small number of properties have been hit by flooding, while more were threatened by rising waters primarily because of flash flooding. It's understood these include properties in Clarecastle, Newmarket on Fergus and in Ennis.
Fire services have been called to assist trapped motorists at Maurices Mills and also in Kilnamona.
Sand bags are being made available to members of the public this afternoon, at Ennis Mart and at Clare GAA headquarters in Clare Abbey.
