There’s been some pretty extreme weather over the last 24 hours.
Many areas of the country woke up to see blankets of snow and ice this morning after Storm Emma arrived late Tuesday night.
Met Éireann have issued a series of weather warnings, including a red alert for Munster and Leinster tomorrow afternoon.
And now Cork City Council have put out a notice about a tidal flood alert.
The notice says that from Thursday afternoon until Monday morning, there is a “significant risk” of flooding in the city before and after the tides.
