A key safety reminder for everyone: please keep your distance from riverbanks, streams and canals, as rising water levels can happen very quickly. Make sure children and pets stay well away from waterways and any flooded areas. And remember the advice of the Irish Coast Guard: “Stay Back, Stay High, Stay Dry.”
The council is keeping a close eye on river levels and coastal conditions, and our crews remain on standby and are ready to deal with any flooding issues. During this period, we will update about road closures or diversions via our social media channels.
If you need to report flooding, fallen trees or similar issues, please call Fingal’s Emergency Line on 01 890 5000. This is the quickest way to make sure incidents are logged and dealt with promptly by our teams. We’re monitoring the situation closely and are here to help if needed.
Build extra time into your journey to allow for possible delays. If you’re driving, slow down and be prepared for surface water, debris on the roads, and reduced visibility. Never ignore ‘Road Closed’ signs or attempt to drive through floodwater—turn around and find an alternative route.
