Separately, more than 30,000 homes, farms and businesses are without electricity as much of the country is being battered by strong winds and rain associated with Storm Bert.
According to ESB Networks' Powercheck, most of those without power are located along the western seaboard and in the north west of the country in particular.
A large number of faults were reported in the early hours of this Saturday morning and it's understood repair crews are being mobilised and deployed where it is safe and conditions allow.
A number of warnings remain in place - including status red warnings for Cork and Galway and the full extent of the impact of Storm Bert will become clearer later in the day.
Local authorities in the counties worst impacted by Storm Bert are reporting heavy flooding in places and there are several road closures in counties, Cork, Kerry, Sligo and Galway due to flooding or fallen trees.
