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.
