Hot on the heels of Storm Goretti, Met Éireann placed 11 counties under a Status Yellow wind alert from 16:00 on 10 January until midnight. Counties Clare, Kerry, Galway, Mayo, Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, Carlow and Kilkenny were warned to expect gusts exceeding 100 km/h capable of dislodging roadside debris and toppling scaffolding.

While Dublin Airport remained operational, regional airports at Shannon and Kerry advised passengers to allow extra time for check-in due to possible power blips affecting baggage systems. Road hauliers serving Cork Port pre-emptively suspended high-sided trailer movements after two empty units toppled on the N20.

For international travellers suddenly rerouting or extending stays because of weather disruptions, VisaHQ can remove at least one layer of stress: its Ireland portal (https://www.visahq.com/ireland/) quickly checks visa requirements, submits applications online and tracks approvals in real time, ensuring your documents stay valid no matter how stormy your itinerary becomes.
The alert forms part of what forecasters call an Atlantic 'mobile regime'—a conveyor belt of low-pressure systems forecast to sweep across Ireland for much of the week. Employers with field engineers or construction crews should review lone-worker protocols and reschedule non-essential site visits.
From a mobility-management standpoint, the key action is proactive communication: airlines operating to secondary airports often post updates only on social media, so travellers should be encouraged to enable push notifications and monitor local news feeds. Companies should also remind staff that train and bus timetables may change at short notice when tree fall blocks rural routes.
