BREAKING: Nore bursts its banks in Inistioge, bringing flood water into Kilkenny village
The River Nore has burst its banks at Inistioge this lunchtime and water is now flowing onto the R700 approaching the bridge in the village.
A number of properties line this section of road adjacent to the river and it is not yet known if water has entered them.
Kilkenny County Council have not yet issued advice to motorists in the area but caution is advised on approach.
The R700 is also flooded heavily in Thomastown and has become impassable.
