Wet weather ahead
Leitrim won't escape the rain this week with Met Éireann senior forecaster Gerry Murphy saying that today's rainfall has now spread to all parts of the country, but is heaviest in the east.
Speaking on RTÉ's News at One, Mr Murphy said this will be a prolonged spell of rain over a 36-hour period and there will be persistent rain through today, tonight and into tomorrow.
He said weather stations in Meath and Louth have recorded the most rainfall so far but he expects Wexford and Wicklow to be the areas that are worst affected.
