The Irish Coast Guard has issued advice for water-based or coastal activities ahead of Storm Betty.
Storm Betty will bring very strong winds with heavy rain or showers across Ireland through Friday evening and night and for a time on Saturday.
The Irish Coast Guard strongly advises people who are planning any water-based or coastal activities, to check the weather carefully and consider if the conditions are suitable.
Strong winds can result in relatively rough seas resulting in perilous sea conditions which could be challenging for water-based actives this weekend.
The general advice from the Coast Guard in stormy conditions is to stay back from cliffs and exposed coastal areas and piers where breaking waves can be hazardous.
If you see someone in difficulty call 999 or 112 and request the Coast Guard.
