Cork City Council’s Flood Assessment Team met this afternoon due to a forecasted period of high astronomical Spring tides tomorrow, Saturday 30 September.

Commuters are advised to drive with care when travelling into the city centre tomorrow morning and evening. Crews will be on standby across the city. Where necessary, road restrictions will be put in place to ensure smooth flow of traffic in impacted areas. 

It is likely that some roads and parking areas along low-lying quays in the city centre may suffer localised flooding during high tides e.g.  Morrison’s Island, Fr. Matthew Quay, Trinity Bridge, Union Quay, Wandesford Quay, Lavitt’s Quay, and South Terrace.

High tide times of note are as follows:

As forecasted weather and tidal conditions are variable at this time, Cork City Council is continuing to monitor the situation closely. 

Further updates will issue tomorrow morning.
