Met Eireann has issued an urgent weather warning for one county, with winds of up to 100km/hr forecast.
The Status Yellow wind alert is in place for Mayo until 2pm on Thursday and reads: “Strong southwest winds in the late morning and for a time this afternoon with gusts of up to 100km/hr.”
It comes as the country is braced for a washout weekend as a low pressure system sweeps in from the Atlantic.
