Torrential rain ... but we're still in drought
Thunderstorms early on Friday morning brought flooding to many parts of Sligo.
And, there was no let up over the week-end with yellow warnings in place for heavy rain.
There was no significant damage caused but the road around Luke's Bridge in North Sligo was closed while a small landslide on the N16 at Lugatober saw traffic disruption until the mud and debris was cleared. It remains to be seen if the recent heavy rainfall restores water levels in the county. Irish Water had warned that there were a few schemes in drought/potential drought status.
Of Irish Water's five drinking water schemes in Sligo, Kilsellagh water treatment plant is currently in drought status.
