Gardai advise motorists not to drive as wind gusts lash country

Gardaí are advising people not to drive unless absolutely necessary tonight as high winds continue to hit Ireland.

They say trees are down on roads in many areas of the country.

A number of trees have been reported down and there are some power outages.

There are reports of trees down on the Rockhill Road at Bomany outside Letterkenny and also in Donegal Town.

People have also been advised to stay away from the coastline and cliffs.

Met Éireann said it will remain very windy with severe and damaging gusts in parts of Connacht for a time as a result of Elsa – an Atlantic storm system.

Strong southerly winds, veering southwest, will reach mean speeds of 65-80km/h, with gusts up to 120km/h.

A Status Yellow wind warning for most of the country is in effect until 3am tomorrow (Thurs).
