Danger to life' warning as storm heads to UK. The Met Office has warned of "potential danger to life" as Hurricane Ophelia makes its way towards the British Isles.
It has issued an amber warning in Northern Ireland, saying power cuts and disruption to transport are possible.
The Republic of Ireland's counterpart office, Met Eireann, issued a red wind warning across the country.
The hurricane will have weakened into a storm when it hits the UK on Monday, 30 years after the Great Storm of 1987.
Ophelia, on its way from the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean, is blowing winds of 90mph (145km/h).
All schools and colleges in the Republic of Ireland, where "violent and destructive gusts" are forecast, will be closed on Monday.
The Department of Education and Skills said the decision had been made "following discussions with members of the Government Task Force on Emergency Planning and in light of the advice from Met Eireann on this unprecedented storm."
Ireland's Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said defence forces were being sent to red weather alert areas - including Wexford, Galway, Mayo, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Waterford.
