The ESB has said it will not increase the rate of water discharged from Parteen Weir on the lower Shannon today after flood waters fell by about 1cm overnight.
The ESB said this morning that water levels in Lough Derg are "stable" and fell by approximately 1cm overnight.
It said it would not increase the discharge rate from Parteen Weir, but will continue to discharge at the same rate as yesterday.
The ESB said flood levels downstream of Parteen Weir are not expected to change, but was still advising "constant vigilance."
The Government's Emergency Response Co-ordination Committee chairman Seán Hogan told The Irish Times yesterday that peak levels may have been detected on the Shannon.
However, the “indicated” peak is on the 256km river’s upper reaches, and it could still take three weeks for the enormous volume of water to work its way south to the sea, given the gradient of the Shannon corridor, Mr Hogan said.
South Galway, the midlands and lower Shannon remain in “severe difficulty”, Mr Hogan said, and high tides due early next week will also have an “impact”, while Cork was in a “clean-up phase”.
The ESB said this mornign that the situation "remains under constant review."
It said it would continue to work closely with the Inter Agency Group which includes the local Councils, HSE and the Emergency Services.
