Photos And Videos Show Limerick Hit With Flooding From Storm Brian

This autumn will long be remembered as the season of big storms in Ireland and although Brian doesn't look as though it'll be as serious as Ophelia earlier in the week, it has been causing real havoc in Limerick today.

High tide hit Limerick this morning and, for the most part, the city's defences did an amazing job...

High tide was a couple of hours ago, although there are worries again for later in the day...

Some areas of the city have been breached...
