Storm Éowyn UPDATE 5: Clean Up continues as weather warnings cease

  • Limerick City and County Council staff during the clean up after storm Eowyn

Limerick City and County Council’s teams are continuing to manage the clean-up of roads, trees and debris around the county as the weather warnings for Limerick lapse.

The tree clearing operations will cease this evening at sundown. While the weather warnings have reduced in severity there is still a live risk as a result of trees and branches having become dislodged in the storm event falling.

Based on the current forecast, there are low temperatures expected in some areas tonight. Limerick City and County Council are planning to carryout gritting of roads.

Please note however that the normal extent of roads to be gritted will likely be reduced as a result of the impacts of Storm Eowyn. Caution is advised when driving in these conditions.
