An orange level wind alert remains in place and the public are advised to stay indoors for the next few hours, and avoid travelling unless absolutely necessary.
The following are reports from across the county:
- Tree down on the Bog Road between the Ennis to Quin Road and the N85 Western Relief Road.
- Trees blocking road at bridge beside Ballyea school and Cragbrien on road to Drumquin.
- There is a tree blocking the road between Brennan’s Cross and the church in Meelick. The issue has been reported so I’m sure it will be dealt with as soon emergency services become available from other shouts.
