Flood alert on eastern and southern coasts
The Met Office has issued a flood alert as Ireland prepares for gale-force storms and heavy rains in the coming days.
The eastern and southern coasts are expected to be worst-hit by the storm, which will be exacerbated by high tides.
Met Eireann said the combination of these two factors and a low-pressure system approaching the south-west coast would create a high risk of floods.
