The recent wet weather showed no sign of easing today as further rain brought flooding to some parts of the country.
The AA earlier reported flooding in many parts of Munster and Connacht, with Cork city and county the worst affected.
According to the AA, there was flooding on Cork city's Curragh Road, which was reduced to one lane, and on the Rochestown Road down toward Passage West, at Balgarvin and on the Sarsfield Road.
Flooding was also reported on roads from Bandon, to Carrigtwhohill, to Kinsale, and Watergrasshill. There was also surface water in Galway city.
However, a spokeswoman for Cork City Council said the flooding was minor and at known risk areas, such as Turner's Cross, the Mahon road, and Fermoy. An official at Cork County Council said there was only minor, localised flooding in the south of the county.
Dublin City Council reported no flooding incidents in the capital.
In Galway, a council spokeswoman said there was only localised flooding but added that more severe weather on the way could increase the risk.
Race officials at Galway have had cancel meetings today and tomorrow due to a waterlogged track.
The forecast is for sunshine and scattered showers today, but the weather will deteriorate tomorrow afternoon when the remains of hurricane Hanna is forecast to make landfall. Met Éireann is predicting 30-50mm of rain, along with strong winds.
Met Éireann said that the west and north of the country would suffer worst, and that further flooding was likely.
According to John Eagleton of Met Éireann, however, the incoming storm is indicative of normal weather patterns for this time of year as former hurricanes move across Ireland.
A number of events around the country have been affected by the recent rain. This Saturday's concert by electronic legends Kraftwerk has been switched from the Luggala estate in Co Wicklow to Kilmainham, Dublin, due to waterlogging at the estate.
In terms of farming, it is estimated that one-third of the grain harvest, worth an estimated €120 million, remains in the fields and is deteriorating. The situation has been exacerbated by a drop in grain prices on the world market.
