ROADS FLOODED AS DELUGE HITS DONEGAL

THERE are reports of flooded roads across Co Donegal this evening after a day heavy rain.

Gardai are asking motorists to take extreme care on the roads this evening as darkness falls.

So far we are getting reports of flooding in Donegal Town, Letterkenny, Ballybofey, Buncrana, Carndonagh, Gaoth Dobhair and Pettigo.

Standing water on many rural roads is also catching out motorists, says AA RoadWatch.

“Roads around Letterkenny are particularly bad,” said an AA spokesman.
