Flood waters recede on Dublin roads

Flooding across Dublin has subsided significantly after torrential rainfall overnight.

Conditions on coastal roads have improved from Howth to Dun Laoghaire, but some routes on the northside are still affected.

A burst water main on the Ballymun road is causing severe disruption, and traffic is heavy on many routes as rush hour kicks in later than usual.

DART services are resuming from Bray and Howth, but it may take some time for trains to reach all stations.

More than two weeks of rain was recorded in Dublin airport in one hour last night, but flights are operating as normal.

In the city centre 20 people had to be evacuated from an apartment complex on Sherrard Street due to flooding, but no one was injured.
