Cork City Council have said that there is still a risk of flooding on the Lee Road and Carrigrohane Road.

The council said that the rate of water being discharged from Inniscarra Dam is to continue at the rate of 180 cubic m per sec, due to the recent heavy rain.

They have said that traffic diversions will be in place in the areas affected by the floods.

The council also said that they do not expect flooding in the city centre.

They will continue to keep the situation under review and work closely with the ESB, Gardaí, Met Eireann and the Emergency Services.
