Photos: The floods have arrived

Several counties have been affected, with Dublin and Wexford particularly badly hit.

FLOODING HAS HIT several areas of the country today and Mét Éireann has issued a new rainfall warning for Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford and Waterford.

Nutgrove Avenue in Rathfarnham, South Dublin was badly affected, with residents saying that the street began to flood at around 5am. It is currently impassible.
