Storm Amy Leaves Man Seriously Injured, 184,000 Without Power Across Ireland

Storm Amy has caused widespread disruption across the island of Ireland, with over 184,000 homes, farms, and businesses in the Republic of Ireland losing power, predominantly in counties such as Donegal, Galway, Mayo, and others. The storm brought damaging winds, localised flooding, fallen trees, transport delays, and school closures, with Co Donegal experiencing a highest-level red wind warning advising residents to shelter indoors. A man was seriously injured in a weather-related incident in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, shortly after 4:15 pm, with emergency services attending the scene. The Electricity Supply Board (ESB) warned that power restoration could be delayed due to hazardous weather and accessibility challenges, and further outages were expected. Northern Ireland also faced significant disruptions, including around 50,000 power outages, travel impacts, and road closures, with warnings of continued gusty winds and potential damage. Additionally, flights at Dublin Airport were heavily affected, with numerous cancellations and diversions due to the storm's impact.
