Met Éireann is warning of a ‘potential danger to life’ due to powerful wind gusts from Storm Debi and severe disruption to roads and public transport is expected
Jessica Thompson reports from Co Longford: A number of houses in the Cam area of Edgeworthstown, Co Longford, are currently trapped in their homes as a result of fallen trees, which have completely blocked the cul de sac that allows them to exit. Over ten thousand homes in the county have been left without power this morning following Storm Debi’s assault on the country last night. Many schools remain closed, with power not expected to be restored until later in the day.
Longford County Council are working to remove a large number of fallen trees across the county this morning, with many roads completely impassable. The N55 is partially blocked at Carrickboy on the Ballymahon side. Not far away from that, the Legan to Listreena road is blocked. A tree has come down at the top of the Castlepollard road going into Edgeworthstown and there is a lot of debris on N4 between Longford and Edgeworthstown.
