River level has risen more

The Liffey in Kilcullen is running about nine inches higher today than it was on Sunday, writes Brian Byrne. This is in line with ESB's warnings that they would be releasing more of the rainwater that has been accumulating in Poulaphuca Reservoir. 

The Mill Stream is also now flowing much stronger and has spread out along the lower land just before it reaches the Liffey.

With more rain forecast for tonight and tomorrow, which will further increase pressure at Poulaphuca, we can expect levels to rise a bit more.

Kildare is now under a Yellow Rain Warning from 3am tomorrow morning, while Wicklow is under an Orange warning.
