Storm Debi: 14 counties under status red warning as schools in affected areas to open at 10am on Monday

The first alert for Clare, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, east Galway and south Roscommon will come into place at 2 am on Monday morning. It will stay in place until 5 am. 

A red wind warning has been issued for Kerry, Tipperary, Limerick, Clare, and 10 other counties as Met Éireann says extremely gusty winds on Sunday night brought by Storm Debi pose a "potential danger to life." 

In an update on Sunday evening, Met Éireann says the storm could potentially cause damage to exposed and vulnerable structures, and disruption to services and transport. Significant power outages and fallen trees/branches are also likely, the forecaster said.
