Housing Minister James Browne says work is underway to better identify flood risks.
Forecasters are welcoming calls from the Housing Minister for Met Eireann to improve its flood forecasting.
Housing Minister James Browne told the Cabinet yesterday about the work underway to better identify flood risks.

The new system will build on existing national flood forecasts and help people make better preparations when flooding is expected.
