Footage shows car being bounced around Donegal beach during Storm Atiyah

This footage shows a car being swayed around a Co Donegal beach during Storm Atiyah.

The public were advised to stay away from coastlines as up to 130km/h gusts were expected.

But up at Rossnowlagh beach, it appears one motorist got a little too close to the sea on Sunday as the storm arrived.

Fin McCool Surf School uploaded the video which shows a red Volkswagen Golf car being caught up in a high tide.

A Status Red wind warning was issued for Kerry, while nine other counties - including Donegal - were hit with an orange weather alert.

Power outages have been experienced across thousands of homes and businesses after gusts of as high as 130km/h battered parts of the country.

The high winds have resulted in several fallen trees which have caused traffic delays for both road and rail users on Monday morning.
