There is a Status Yellow weather warning today after gusts battered Ireland last night

Sudden, violent gusts of winds of up to 90km/h, rough seas, and heavy, thundery rain swept the country last night, writes Evelyn Ring of the Irish Examiner.

Met Éireann has issued a status yellow weather warning for Wexford, Clare, Cork, Kerry, and Waterford up to 6pm today as a deep Atlantic depression began its approach from the south-west.
