Galway Bay fm newsroom – Sea walls along the Galway coastline could be tested today as Storm Frank batters the county.
The Office of Public Works says existing flood levels are likely to increase, putting pressure on defensive structures.
Flooding around the country could top the worst of what was experienced during Storm Desmond.
The storm is currently reaching hurricane force winds out at sea.
While this level of wind won’t reach the mainland, the wind and rain will be extensive.
