Roads across Cork have been closed due to the heavy rainfall brought about by Storm Gerrit.

The L-4624 near Ballineen in West Cork is impassable due to flooding, as is the R587 Dunmanway to Macroom road.

In North Cork, the L-1226 which links the N72 to Killavullen is closed due to flooding, including Longfields Bridge and Killavullen Bridge.

So too is the R-621, which connects the Navigation Road by Cork Racecourse, Mallow to the Quartertown Road.

The County Council has erected demountable flood defences in Mallow and Fermoy.

Meanwhile in East Cork, the L-2991 on Great Island is passable again.

Cork County Council's Severe Weather Assessment Team met this morning and says council response crews and contractors have been put on notice and are on standby.
