Cathal Nolan from Ireland's Weather Channel says we can expect blustery conditions up until Friday:
"We will see a pretty much blustery day on Thursday. We do take a little dip as we go into Thursday night and Friday Morning. There's a low pressure system that we are looking at very carefully at the moment because it could be stronger than tonight's system. We could well see wind speeds with that system getting up to 110 or 120 kilometres an hour."
