Storm Isha has brought with it its own havoc, but it isn't stopping, as more warnings have been issued by Met Eireann.

A status yellow wind warning for Clare, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo has been issued by Met Éireann, the very latest in weather warnings to hit the country.

The warning is valid from 2:30am, this Monday January 22 until 7pm the same evening.
