A man has been killed in a weather-related incident and around 234,000 properties are without power across Ireland as Storm Amy brings widespread disruption.
The storm also brought localised flooding, fallen trees, transport disruption and school closures.
The Republic of Ireland’s forecasting agency issued its highest-level wind warning in Co Donegal, where residents were advised to shelter in place between 4pm and 6pm.
The red wind warning meant fallen trees, damage to power lines, dangerous travelling conditions, structural damage and wave overtopping.
Irish police said they were treating an incident where a man was seriously injured in the Letterkenny area of the county, shortly after 4.15pm, as weather-related.
An Garda Siochana later said he had died and his body was removed to the morgue at Letterkenny University Hospital, where a post-mortem examination will be carried out in due course.
