There's a warning of electricity blackouts due to a nationwide weather warning later today
A status yellow wind alert will begin at 12 noon and continue until 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
It affects all 26 counties, and winds of up to 110 kilometres an hour are expected.
Cathal Nolan, from Ireland's Weather Channel, says the gusts could cause damage:
"With the strong winds and combine them of course with the pretty soft underfoot conditions, there is the risk of some uprooting trees in places and of course this brings the risk then also of some power outages and disruption as well to telecommunications services. So there is the risk of some of the parts of the country, especially the southwest, experiencing damaging winds for a time."
