VIDEO: Gales, rain, snow, and flooding cause chaos across the country

Torrential rain and gale-force winds caused havoc across the country as three weather warnings took their toll.

In Cork, a code level orange weather warning was in place with emergency crews active in many coastal towns as tidal flooding occurred during high water.

Cork County Council’s Severe Weather Assessment Team convened to assess the situations as many roads around the county were affected by large volumes of surface water.
