A status orange wind warning is now in effect for Dublin as Storm Isha sets in.
The warning will end on Monday morning.
Winds of over 100 kilometres per hour have already been recorded in the West of Ireland.
Galway and Mayo will be under a red warning from 5pm on Sunday night, while Donegal joins that at 9pm.
The National Emergency Co-ordination Group met this morning, and are warning people in status red areas not to travel while the storm batters the country.
Dublin
Dublin Fire Brigade is reminding people to never approach cables downed by the storm
Its services have dealt with trees and cables downed in Deansgrange, Roganstown and Firhouse.
Firefighters also made a scene safe on Exchequer Street in the city, after hoarding from a construction site came loose in the wind.
Earlier on Sunday, crews from Tara Street attended the scene of a battered shed which had been blown over 20 feet in the air on Kevin Street.
The Brigade are advising people not to put their bins out tonight.
They suggest getting up early tomorrow and putting them out then, instead.

Dublin Airport says a number of flights continue to be impacted because of the storm.
102 journeys have been cancelled by airlines, including 53 arrivals and 49 departures.
High winds have resulted in 24 "go-arounds" and 27 flights have diverted to other airports.
Passengers are advised to contact their airlines directly for status updates on particular flights.
Shannon and Belfast airports have closed for any diversions from Dublin.
Any diversions must now go to Cork or Liverpool, while Manchester airport is taking them for fuel up only.
