Council urge the public to remain indoors
Kerry County Council and the Kerry Severe Weather Coordination Team are very strongly reminding members of the public to remain indoors and not to travel due to the extremely dangerous and hazardous conditions caused by Storm Barra.
The Council is advising that wind speeds will increase significantly over the coming hours as the storm reaches its peak.
The Kerry Severe Weather Coordination Team – including Kerry County Council, the HSE, An Garda Síochána, Kerry Fire Service and Kerry Civil Defence – continues to coordinate the response to the storm and reminds everyone that a Status Red weather warning, the highest such warning, remains in place for Kerry.
There are a significant number of roads closed or blocked by fallen trees, fallen electricity poles and flooding. Council crews will only be able to respond to issues when it is safe to do so.
Members of the public should not, under any circumstances approach fallen trees or fallen power lines.
The Council’s emergency contact number is 066 7183588 and it will be operational through this evening and tonight.
Fallen electricity wires/poles and power outages should be reported to ESB Networks on 1800 372 999.
