Conditions will become very windy on Saturday, according to Met Éireann.

On Saturday night winds will gradually ease as showers become isolated and mostly restricted to north Ulster.

However, later in the night, a further spell of rain will push in across Munster and Connacht, extending across the rest of the country by dawn on Sunday.

Lowest temperatures of 4 to 7 degrees with fresh and gusty westerly winds, backing southerly and moderating.
