LIVE: Section of stand at famous Limerick GAA grounds blown to smithereens by Storm Éowyn

The full extent of the destruction in county Limerick is only beginning to emerge

A SECTION of the stand in one of the busiest GAA fields in the county has been torn to smithereens by the power of Storm  Éowyn.

Parts of the roof in Fitzgerald Park, Kilmallock appear to have been blown into the rear of local properties. 

It is not known if the flying wreckage from one of the main GAA county grounds has damaged the buildings. Fitzgerald Park has hosted inter county action all the way up to senior.

The extent of the destruction in county Limerick is only beginning to emerge as the sun rose and the Status Red warning nears its end at 10am.

Tens of thousands are without power in the city and county and there are dozens of trees reportedly down and blocking roads.
