The entire country is coming under a ‘danger to life’ warning… as the countdown continues to Storm Eowyn.
Met Eireann is issuing a red wind alert for all counties from the early hours of Friday morning.
Work places are being urged to plan in advance, schools and creches will close, and emergency services are advising motorists to stay off the road.
Climate Scientist and Founder of Ireland’s Weather Channel, Cathal Nolan, says the storm is on track to be the most severe we’ve ever experienced.
