The Foyle Bridge in Derry has been closed as Storm Isha continues to batter Ireland.

There have numerous reports of trees blown down blocking roads across the city.

Residents in Curryneirin are experiencing flooding.

Waterside SDLP councillor Sean Mooney said: "The storm is having a hard impact thus far. Anyone requiring sandbags tonight can get some in behind Ronnie V's on the Church Road and at the Three Mile House car park for those whose homes are at risk."

Derry City & Strabane District Council is urging the public not to put their bins out as they pose a safety risk.

People are being urged to heed wind warnings and told not to make unnecessary journeys.

An amber weather warning is in place until 6am on Monday. This will be downgraded to a status yellow wind warning that will be in place until noon on Monday.

The Department for Infrastructure said that despite contingency measures, public workers’ strike action may disrupt any responses to incidents such as debris on roads and floods.
