WATCH: Water rains down inside Tesco Portlaoise

Tesco Extra in Laois Shopping Centre was forced to close temporarily at the weekend when rain water came flooding through the roof. 

The incident was captured on film by Piia Kivisto who was in Laois Shopping Centre at the time. 

It's understood a blocked gully led to an accumulation of water on the roof of Tesco which caused the flooding.

Tesco closed their doors for just over an hour while the problem was fixed.
