Met Éireann said Monday would bring long spells of rain throughout the country, but Munster and Leinster would be particularly vulnerable. 

Thunderstorms could bring localised flooding in Munster yet again, said forecasters, following days of rain that left roads impassable, floodwaters immersing cars and properties, and hundreds of thousands of euro worth of damage.
