Warning of a wet day had earlier come from Met Eireann who issued a status yellow rainfall warning for several counties, including Kilkenny, in place between 1am on Wednesday and 5am on Thursday.
Met Eireann warned "heavy spells of persistent rain will lead to localised flooding" across these counties Kilkenny, Kerry, Cork, Carlow, Kildare, Laois, Wexford, Wicklow, Tipperary and Waterford.
