Gardaí are attending the scene of a collapsed wall in Loughrea amid gale force winds in Galway this morning.

County Councillor Shane Curley shared images of the collapsed stone wall on Moore Street this morning, and advised people to avoid the area.

“Gardaí are on scene on Moore Street. Please avoid the street until the council work with them to clear it.”

Galway is under a status yellow weather warning for heavy winds on Thursday, which will remain in place throughout the day.

“Northwest winds will be very strong at times. High waves are also expected,” Met Eireann has said.

The warning will be in force until 8pm on Thursday, with possible wave overtopping, debris and loose objects, and difficult driving conditions.
