Examples of trees down we want to make you aware of as our crews begin assessment and clear up.
Turvey Avenue Blocked at Beresford
Tree down at the graveyard on the main road in Ballyboughal making the road impassable.
5 trees down at Estuary Road

Remember Yellow warning still in place and only make necessary journeys and drive with extreme caution
Remember:
Dublin has now moved to a Status Yellow warning . This is in place from 12pm-4pm, with strong to near gale force westerly winds and damaging gusts.
There is a good amount of debris across Fingal and our crews are now out and about to assist with the clean up - they will tackle priority routes first before moving to local roads. So far we have received reports of 82 trees down across the county, as well as the ice-rink in Millennium Park being severely damaged.
Our parks will remain closed today and will be inspected later this afternoon. Alongside this, all of our pitches will be closed this weekend, with assessments for playability not being carried out until Monday.
While council offices and facilities are closed today, it will still be business as usual with all of our staff working and responding to any queries. Members of the public can contact Fingal County Council on 018905000 during normal office hours, after which calls will be transferred to the council’s emergency/out of hours service. You may also email our Operations Teams within your local area using:
Castleknock Mulhuddart Area - [email protected]

Harm reduction is critical in a health led and compassionate approach to drug use. The government support @ColmBurkeTD @DonnellyStephen makes it possible to add to safety and care in addiction. @MerchantsQuayIR deserve enormous credit we @HSELive happy to support.
Yesterday I signed the licence for Ireland’s first Supervised Injecting Facility to open in Merchants Quay Dublin. It opened its doors today with staff available to provide support
This facility is a landmark development in our health-led approach to drug use. It prioritises the health and social needs of people who inject drugs and reduces the stigma and marginalisation associated with on street injecting drug use.
I commend the @HSELive and @MerchantsQuayIR and @roinnslainte staff for the development and delivery of this pilot service. I am particularly heartened that the facility will be able to open at a time of year when people who inject drugs face heightened isolation and vulnerability.

My appeal to Western leaders from Lviv. Stop speculating about Ukraine’s possible defeat. It has nothing to do with the facts. Ukraine, despite some naysayers, defends itself effectively against the Russian aggression, even though no-one gave it a chance in the first days of the war. Do you remember? You remember it best. And you have proven in all those years that you need to think with faith in your strength. And you believed in your strength. Now is the time for the whole West to believe in its own strength, possibility, and its ability to convince all the actors of this great game that Ukraine and the whole world deserve just peace, and respect for territorial integrity and borders. We can no longer hesitate.

This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law.
Israel will close its embassy in Dublin in light of 'the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government', Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has said in a statement rte.ie/news/ireland/2024/121…

Good to be in the Garda College in Templemore today for the graduation of 169 new Gardai. Congratulation and thanks to each of them and their families for their service. An honour to join with them and with @HMcEntee on this important day
