Going, going, almost gone...most of the country waking up to a calm morning

However, Met Éireann predicts unsettled weather over the next seven days.

ALTHOUGH THERE WILL still be some residual showers today, most of the country will be treated to a brighter, drier day than we’ve seen in the past 48 hours.

Met Éireann says there is risk of heavy and frequent showers in parts of the west and norther but it will be dry elsewhere.

A cool day, temperatures will max out at between five and seven degrees.

Fortunately, the winds are expected to be just light to moderate and the sun shall make an appearance at times.

Looking ahead, the weather is to remain unsettled over the next seven days. Tomorrow will bring rain that will be heavy and spread eastward during the afternoon. The wind will also pick up to moderate and gusty.

As the country recovers from the storm, travel and transport networks return to normal.

Irish Rail has reopened Pearse Station and is operating an almost-normal schedule with just a few tweaks.

Flights have also been departing Dublin Airport as usual but passengers should still check with their airlines before travelling.

    29 deaths so far this year on the roads . It shows why the guards are stepping up there checks. Please everyone check your tyres brakes , don’t speed and never drive under the influence. This accident may have nothing to do with any of them things but some deaths this year have . Let’s try and stop the toll over reaching last years figure

    @Margaret Deacon: Actually Margaret you’re lucky. You and your family are safer if people drive responsibly, and a garda presence helps to enforce that.

    If people obeyed the rules of the road and were responsible road deaths would be reduced, speed checks and garda check points should not be the reason you slow down, its the law just my point of view
