OVER 250 homes in Donegal are without power this afternoon.

The remnants of Storm Bella, which swept across Ireland overnight, has left many in darkness.

In the Milford area, there are 248 customers affected by an outrage.

A further ten customers are affected in the Stranorlar area.

ESB say that they are working to repair the faults and power is expected to be restored by 2pm.

ESB have apologised for the loss of supply.

A status yellow wind warning has been issued for Donegal, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Clare, Cork and Kerry. It is valid until 2pm tomorrow.

Northwesterly winds associated with Storm Bella, veering northerly overnight, will reach mean speeds of 50km/h to 65km/h with gusts of 90km/h to 110km/h. Winds will be stronger in exposed areas and on higher ground.

With the combination of strong winds, high waves and forecasted storm surge, there is a risk of coastal flooding.

There is also a yellow warning in place for snow and ice in a number of countries, including Donegal, with Met Éireann cautioning of wintry showers and a risk of icy stretches on untreated surfaces.

The warning is in place until Monday morning at 7am.
