Saturday's Ironman half triathalon in Youghal has been postponed until Sunday due to flooding and debris on the bike course in the aftermath of Storm Betty. 

Cork and Waterford were under an orange warning for rain and wind overnight as the storm made its way across the country resulting in power outages, fallen trees and widespread flooding.
