The RSA is advising driving test candidates in counties affected by a RED weather warning and who are scheduled to take their driving test tomorrow Monday 16 October, not to turn up for their driving test.
Met Eireann has RED wind weather warnings in place for counties Wexford, Galway, Mayo, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Waterford. A status red warning is an exceptional event.
The RSA will be in touch at a later date to reschedule driving tests. The RSA apologises for any inconvenience caused but the decision has been made in the interests of public safety.
People should take action to protect themselves and their properties. People living in areas where a Red level weather warning has been issued should not make any non-essential journeys. There should be no cycling in RED zones and avoid where necessary elsewhere.
Ireland is directly in the firing line; storm trajectory now shifting slightly to the East into Cork, Waterford, Sth Tipp, Kilkenny #Ophelia pic.twitter.com/HXKcU15eD5
