TRAFFIC: List of flooded roads across Co Kildare this morning
Here is a list of sections of routes flooded across Co Kildare this morning.
Experts at the Kildare Weather Twitter page estimate there has been more than 35mm or almost 1.5 inches of rainfall since midnight.
Motorists have been advised to slow down as they may not see deep waters due to the murky conditions.
One KildareNow reader also asked drivers to be considerate of pedestrians and cyclists and drive slowly through the overflow of water.
She said: "They are blinding other drivers and the poor pedestrians having to walk in that rain are getting drowned from it. A little consideration is needed."
