The country has been battered by strong winds and heavy rain overnight, and there's more to come.
A yellow alert for the entire country kicked in at 8am.
Some severe or damaging gusts are possible at times.
The north and northwest are expected to bear the brunt of the wintry conditions today.
Met Éireann's Paul Downes says it will be a gusty day: ''It's been a quite unprecedented winter. We have had quite a settled winter so far in terms of storms. We haven't really had a named storm yet. But unfortunately we are in for quite a rough day today.''
Very windy or becoming very windy countrywide on Wednesday, with some severe or damaging gusts possible🌬️⚠️
Squally thundery showers will merge to a longer spell of rain for a time, but it will brighten up from the west through the afternoon and evening⛈️🌧️
