Wind warning in place for Kerry

Wind warnings will be in place for nearly a third of the country today, including in Kerry - with gusts of up to 90 kilometres an hour expected.

A status yellow alert is now in place in seven counties along the west coast - from Kerry to Donegal.

And a similar alert takes effect in Cork at 9 o'clock this morning.

Cathal Nolan, from Ireland's Weather Channel, says there will be some dangerous driving conditions.
