Eva OsborneHomeowners have real concerns for the day ahead after flooding in the wake of Storm Chandra is set to be exacerbated after Met Éireann issued more rain warnings for Friday. Carlow, Dublin, Kilkenny, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow, and Waterford came under a status yellow rain warning at 12pm. Meanwhile, in the north, Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone, and Derry will be under a status yellow rain warning until 6pm. Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Pamela Kearns, said homeowners are "absolutely terrified" because of what they have gone through already. The scale of the flooding in some areas has heaped pressure on forecaster Met Éireann, the Government and local authorities over whether the warnings were sufficient.
