From going around the Carlow town today, the flood water is still high, but there is some hope as there is evidence that the river level is going down. It will probably take days before the flooding will clear.  Carlow county council are building up barriers with sand bags in some parts of the town so that they can pump some of the water out to try and get traffic moving.

With so many roads are closed in Carlow Town that traffic issue start at 3pm and by 4pm it could take you over an hour and 30 minutes to get from the Kilkenny road to Dunes supermarket at the Laois side of the town.

 I would like to thank the Carlow Nationalist for publishing some of our photos, but when we went to purchase a copy of the news paper we were extremely disappointed at the fact that the Carlow Nationalist Newspaper was unable to spell "Gaelic Web Design" correctly.
