Irish Independent report: The country is facing into another torturous weekend of rain and flooding, as storms continue to batter several counties. Flooding is now getting as bad as the extremes seen in 2009 in several parts of the country."
• As I write, this part of Co. Roscommon is being spared the worst of the weather even though there is flooding in fields through the area, some roads are impassable and at least one farmstead is surrounded by water.
• Through Ireland, two hundred properties are now under water and more than 150 are at imminent risk of flooding as rising water levels now match or exceed record levels set in 2009 in some areas.

Calls for increased funds for community groups
There are calls for increased funds for community groups to meet the increase of 50 cent in the minimum wage in January 2016. Cllr. Rachel Doherty says local Community Services Programme run by Pobal, such as the Arigna Fuel Mining Experience, Una Bhan in Boyle and the Cruachan Ai centre in Tulsk now have to bear the additional burden of paying their staff the extra amount.
