There will be more heavy rain as well as 'flooding' this week but a big change in the weather could be just around the corner.
Met Eireann has forecast a mix of showers with sunny spells on Wednesday and Thursday but it is expected to get very wet Friday.
The rain will extend across the country on Friday and be heavy at times, which may cause some flooding.
A Met Eireann forecaster warned: "Very unsettled for Friday and Saturday, with heavy rain or showers and strong winds at times. Showery on Sunday and into early next week."
However, it's not all bad news as an Irish weather expert shared a weather model showing the exact day things could start to improve.
Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather offered people a sliver of hope, as he wrote on Twitter: "First sign of hope on weather models? It’s a long way off but latest ECMWF shows a chance of high pressure returning from around the 21st. Long way off so very uncertain but if you needed some hope then here it is."
Here is Met Eireann's full forecast for the week:
