Written By Unknown on Jumat, 28 Desember 2012 | 22.40

Two weather warnings have been issued by Met Éireann.

One alerts people to gusts of up to 130 km/h - equivalent to 80 m/h for a time today and tonight in Co Clare, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo.

A second warning of gusts of up to 115 km/h - equivalent to 70 m/h - an hour covers Leinster, and counties Cavan, Limerick, Monaghan, Roscommon, Tipperary and Waterford.

The Road Safety Authority is advising pedestrians to take extra care when near traffic or crossing the road and to be aware that a sudden gust of wind could blow them into the path of an oncoming vehicle.

The Authority also urges motorists to allow extra space between their vehicles and cyclists or motorcyclists.

Motorists are also urged to be prepared for the prospect of coming across fallen trees and debris on roads particularly overnight and tomorrow morning.

AA Roadwatch says that high-sided vehicles are vulnerable on open or exposed roads.

The Department of Transport advises people to keep away from cliffs, piers and any other coastal areas.
