Expect major disruption nationwide

Speed limits on exposed routes will lead to delays, expect up to 30 minutes

Major risks
1. Flooding at Merrion Gates, Dun Laoghaire Dalkey
2. Level crossings nationwide may have issue in high winds
3. Risk of trees failing
4. Risk of flooding on Glounthane - Cobh
5. Risk of flooding Hazelhatch
6. Risk of flooding impacting Docklands services and Maynooth line

Presumably this is down to ensuring the safety of staff of manually operated level crossings in windswept locations (which of course is a sensible precaution).

IMO its rather ensuring routes with high demand are kept operating where possible. A line like Limerick-BB could sustain a lot more damage (given its condition) and require a much more detained inspection afterwords taking up resources which could be put to use elsewhere

5. Risk of flooding Hazelhatch
