Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather says Monday's weather will mean staying indoors for most of the public.

“It's going to turn very wet and windy for Sunday night and for Bank Holiday Monday it looks like picking a good movie or listening to the radio wrapped up in bed, because it's going to be very, very wet and very windy. There will be some very strong gusts.”
