Members of the public affected by flooding in County Clare made 913 calls which related to requests for assistance, as well as flood reports and advice. The Council response to serious flooding during this period involved approximately 150 indoor and 450 outdoor staff throughout the County.

The Council said that the Crisis Management Centre would once again become fully operational within a half hour should conditions deteriorate significantly over the coming days.
