Limerick Set To Be Battered By Storm Force Winds

Forecasters are warning that the worst storm of the winter may be about to hit Limerick and that it could cause chaos around the county.

It is expected to hit on Sunday night, bringing severe gales and heavy rain. To blame is a band of exceptionally low pressure, which is expected to climax on Monday morning when it swings east across the city and county.

Winds of over 100kph are expected.
