Drove into Clifden for some supplies. They’ve since closed all the roads. One elderly local said he has never seen anything like the flooding today. pic.twitter.com/uI6KjkyoSZ

Upstream from Clifden large tracts of bog have been killed and converted to sitka spruce plantations. Arterial drains rapidly pass rain water to the river which accelerates down stream.
