Kerry County Council is appealing to delivery companies with high-sided trucks, who would normally make deliveries during the early hours of the morning, to reconsider their delivery times.
In addition, homeowners and business owners throughout the county are being asked to ensure all loose items around their property are tied down or stored away, as they could become dangerous projectiles in high winds; this includes bins, signage, trampolines and similar items.

The council's asking people to continue to be cautious, to avoid travel unless necessary and to avoid cliffs, coasts and piers as they'll be subject to high, gusting winds.
Kerry County Council's Emergency Response Team is ready to respond and the emergency phoneline can be contacted on 066-7183588 during Storm Eunice.
