WATCH: Winds bring down trees as Storm Hannah continues to batter Limerick

WINDS have brought down a number of trees across the county and thousands of homes remain without power as Storm Hannah continues to batter Limerick this Friday night. 

Almost 1,600 homes remain without power as Storm Hannah tracks across the county, mainly in Askeaton and near Ahane and Annacotty.  

Approximately 10,000 electricity customers are currently without power in Cork and Kerry, and the ESB has warned there could be further damage to the network. 

Gusts of 119km were earlier recorded at Shannon, according to Met Eireann.
