Ireland is facing heightened flooding risks as Met Éireann issues yellow rain warnings for nine counties, including Dublin and Cork, from Monday to Wednesday. The National Emergency Coordination Group warns that saturated ground and high tides could worsen conditions, prompting Taoiseach Micheál Martin to visit affected areas. Infrastructure Minister Jack Chambers noted delays in flood defense schemes due to judicial reviews and emphasized the need for reform in the flood relief system, with over €700 million allocated for flood relief over the next five years.
