Met Éireann has warned if you live in a flood-prone area, prepare for the next week.
More rain is on the way over the next seven days but, with soils already saturated and waterlogged, it won't go anywhere and will pool.
The national forecaster has issued a weather advisory until next Friday.
Meterologist Paul Downes says there will be tricky conditions over the next week.
"Definitely be prepared if you need sandbags maybe have them filled and ready to go.
"You might not need to have them in place yet but have them ready to go.
"If you are driving, especially at night time on back roads, be prepared to meet bad flood spots around corners to avoid any accidents."
The warning comes following severe flooding in north County Wexford last night.
Significant flooding in Gorey and Courtown in Co Wexford were seen Thursday evening which resulted in several roads being closed and traffic tailing back to the N11 and M11 motorway.
“Throughout the evening emergency crews and up to 10 fire tenders, including two from Wicklow, have been working to try and relieve the worst affected areas,” a statement from the council said.

Photos on social media showed cars partly submerged in inches of water on some roads in the county after the flooding.
The M11 north and southbound reopened before midnight, however, the link road from Courtown Road to M11 remained impassable until today.
Flood damage
Eamon Hoare, the council's director of services, said it could cost “hundreds of thousands” of euro to repair the damage in the Gorey area.
According to Breaking News, 16 roads were flooded, five of which were completely blocked when 20mm of rain per hour fell for a number of hours.
The heavy rain led to four business premises and two homes experiencing flooding and there will be damage to roads, Eamon Hoare warned.
The downpours, which were contained to the Gorey area, had not been expected to be as bad, he said.
He continued to say so far this year there have been four such events with €5 million spent on repairing roads and bridges damaged in flooding last Christmas.
