The country has been placed under red alert today, with parts being declared in states of ‘major emergency’ as severe storms leave more than 260,000 homes without power.
Winds of up to 170kmph are ripping through the country, causing destruction and bringing about inevitable chaos.
This footage was taken today in Limerick.
Watch as the Limerick Boat Club feels the wrath of Mother Nature.
