WATCH: Storm Agnes blows roof off building in beachfront town in Cork

Emergency services have raced to a beachfront town in Co Cork to help secure a roof which has reportedly blown off a building. 

Cork Safety Alerts posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) earlier today (September 27), which shows the roof at Youghal Strand billowing in the wind above a parked car as Storm Agnes rages. 

Youghal Gardaí confirmed officers are at the scene and awaiting further aid from other emergency services. 

People in the locality are being advised to steer clear of the area for safety reasons. 

According to Cork County Council, there have been multiple reports of fallen trees, localised flooding and surface water across the county. 

Motorists have been advised to exercise caution and to avoid driving through flowing/standing water. 

Status Orange rain and wind warnings have been issued for all counties, with Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, and Tipperary set to experience the worst of it. 

Southeast winds are expected to reach Storm Force 10 at times on Irish coastal waters from Carnsore Point to Roches Point to Loop Head.
