Take note if you were planning to do a bit of shopping tonight.
Earlier on Friday, we shared the news that the adverse weather conditions had resulted in a number of flights being delayed and cancelled, as well as bus and rail services.
And it’s not just those with travel plans who are being affected by the nasty weather either.
Storm Hannah has caused a number of shops across the country to close early.
All seven Aldi stores in Kerry closed at 6pm on Friday night, and plan to reopen at 8am on Saturday morning. They also said that they would be monitoring the situation “very closely” for any changes.
Co. Kerry shoppers: Due to the Status Red weather warning our seven Co. Kerry stores will close tonight at 6:00pm. We plan to reopen each store at 8:00pm, once the warning is lifted. We are monitoring the situation very closely for any changes in the weather. #StormHannah
