An Garda Síochána calls on the public to be careful and prudent as ‘Storm Aiden’ hits across the country this Halloween weekend.
Met Éireann has issued Status Orange and Status Yellow warnings that will take effect from tomorrow at 5 am, Saturday, October 31, 2020.
The strongest impacts from ‘Storm Aiden’ will be felt along the coastal areas of Munster, Connacht and West Ulster.
An Garda Síochána would like to advise that:
- All unnecessary travel where there are orange level wind warnings should be avoided. These winds will make driving conditions dangerous, especially for the most vulnerable road users such as bicyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and high-sided vehicles.
- Road users should pay particular attention to the risk posed by downed trees, flying debris, and flooded roads.
- The high seas and wave activity will make coastal areas dangerous, the public is advised to stay away from coastal areas / cliff walks during this period.
- People are advised to remove or secure patio furniture, garbage cans, and any loose items from around buildings.
- Local authorities will provide up-to-date information on flooding and local conditions. People are advised to follow the updated weather forecast throughout the weekend.
We advise the public to check Met.ie regularly, as regular updates will be provided over the weekend.
