Dublin is one of 15 counties that have received a Status Yellow warning ahead of Storm Brendan.
Most of Ireland will be affected by a spell of unsettled weather as Storm Brendan tracks to the northwest of the country and Dublin, as well as 14 other counties, have escaped with a Status Yellow wind warning while other areas are in for worse weather.
