Kerry County Council is appealing to people to prepare for hazardous conditions and not to travel unless it’s absolutely necessary during Storm Bert.

The storm will make landfall overnight and Met Éireann has issued two weather warnings for Kerry.

A status yellow alert for wind and rain is in place for the entire country from 10 o’clock tonight until midday tomorrow.
