Drivers warned to avoid flooded Bleach Road

Motorists in Kilkenny should not under any circumstances try and drive through floodwaters on the Bleach road.

Kilkenny County Council has reiterated the warning from locals, after a car was stranded there this morning.

The high water levels after Storm Deirdre and the subsequent flooding are still causing trouble in Carlow and Kilkenny.

Heavy rain overnight has left a lot of surface water on roads and left many areas waterlogged.
