VIDEO: West and south-west to get ‘sting in tail’ from storm Frank

Western and south-western coastal areas are expected today to get the ‘sting in the tail’ from storm Frank as severe winds and rain sweep across regions.

With hurricane force winds expected off the coast, emergency services again advised motorists, pedestrians and communities living near flood-prone areas to take care.

The national emergency coordination group met again yesterday in Dublin, saying that there would be a burst of rain and winds along the west coast early today.
