MET Éireann has issued a status wind warning for 19 counties, including Limerick, as the latest storm system is set to batter most of the country.

According to Met Éireann, potential impacts include difficult travelling conditions, debris and loose objects displaced.

Separately, status orange orange wind warnings have been issued for Clare, Galway and Mayo.

Those warnings will be valid from 3pm to 8pm this Sunday.
