42 flights cancelled, further cancellations expected
A spokesperson for Dublin Airport said 42 flights have been cancelled while "further cancellations are possible later today as wind speeds are expected to increase".
Emerald Airlines has pre-emptively cancelled a number of its scheduled flights today while other airlines have indicated that they are monitoring the situation.

A number of ferry sailings have also been cancelled today due to adverse weather conditions with passengers advised to check with their ferry operator for the latest information and details regarding alternative sailings.
Met Éireann has warned that there is a "significant chance" Storm Bram will bring coastal flooding along the south and west coasts at high tide this morning, and along the east coast during this afternoon.

Local authorities have said they are monitoring the situation closely and have their ground crews on standby should an incident arise.
Storm Bram will be 'multi-hazard event' - NDFEM
Keith Leonard, director of the National Directorate for Fire & Emergency Management (NDFEM), warned that Storm Bram will be a multi-hazard event with high wind speeds and difficult coastal conditions.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland programme, he described the weather system as dynamic, adding that the western seaboard from Cork and Kerry to Donegal is where the impacts are going to be hardest felt. He said that difficult high winds could present with very little notice in any part of the country today.
On flooding, he warned of coastal flooding today and potentially river flooding in the coming days.
Mr Leonard said that a significant impact on power is expected, particularly across western coastal areas and border areas such as Cavan and Monaghan.
He said that those driving needed to slow down as conditions will be difficult, and advised people to keep away from coastal edges such as piers, harbours and low-lying promenades today and tomorrow, as there will be very dangerous and difficult conditions.
