Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather here. I took photos and videos with my drone yesterday 28/02/2020 above flooding on parts of the Shannon, including the Parteen Weir, Springfield Clonlara, Shannon Harbour Offaly and Athlone.

Any policy to deliberately flood farmland will be fought by the Irish Farmers’ Association, its president Tim Cullinan pledged during a visit to flooded farms in Galway.
