Further warnings remain in place for areas in the east and southeast, which were badly hit by Storm Chandra earlier in the week.

Communities across Dublin, Wexford and Wicklow are facing lengthy clean-up operations following widespread flooding that caused severe disruption, leaving thousands of homes, farms and businesses without electricity and damaging dozens of properties.
