An Athlone councillor is concerned for the coming days.
At least two families in Athlone are to be housed in emergency accommodation after their homes were flooded.
Days of heavy rainfall has led to several areas in the midlands and west being under water.
A snow and ice warning is in place for Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal until midday, and heavy rain is forecast tomorrow.
Fianna Fáil councillor Aengus O'Rourke says it's a worrying time:
The Athlone rep is concerned for the days ahead:
The Defence Forces are on standby to provide more help in flooded areas today.
For the first time since the recent wet spell began, they was called to provide help yesterday in Westmeath.
More heavy rain is forecast for tomorrow, and Commandant James O'Hara says the Defence Forces are ready to provide more help.
Commandant O'Hara says they've been providing assistance in the midlands and southwest:
Helen Coneeley, who operates Carnakilla Cabins in Glasson estimates the water level around their business is 40cms below the highest point of the flooding in 2016.
She says she's been unable to go to work:
