The Irish Farmers Association is calling on the OPW Minister, Simon Harris and Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney to come to the west to see for themselves the devastation that flooding is causing.
Serious concerns are being expressed today in the wake of Storm Desmond as the county’s rivers continue to swell.
A boil water notice has been introduced after flooding caused contamination at Ballinasloe’s water treatment plant.
Red Cross crews were in Ballinasloe and its environs yesterday evening to distribute bottled water to residents as the boil notice took effect.
They were also in Kiltormer earlier and were giving out bottled water in Eyrecourt this evening.
The Red Cross will then move to Ballinasloe Fire Station where they will give out bottled water between 8 and 9 tonight.
