Homeowners have been urged to secure garden items and motorists are advised to park away from trees as the Met Eireann weather warnings begin to take effect.
Awful conditions including gusts of up to 110km/h and "overtopping waves" are expected to blast the country, which could result in repair bills for damage caused by toppled trees or runaway garden furniture.
The bills for damage caused by garden chairs, fallen tree branches and other outdoor items could run into the thousands - or even more, the home and life insurance provider, Peopl Insurance, has warned. Ahead of the stormy weather, the insurance adviser also issued some key advice for people.
