More than a dozen flights to and from Cork and Dublin airports were canceled Wednesday morning due to the publication of a severe weather warning for the west and south coastal areas.
Met Éireann said that storm Diana would produce violent and potentially damaging winds as it moves north, to the west of Ireland.
The storm was named by the Portuguese Weather Service because of the orange-level warning conditions it produced for the Azores Archipelago on Monday night.
People traveling by plane were asked to check with their airline before going to the airport. Flights canceled from Cork include Aer Lingus flights from Birmingham, Amsterdam, Manchester, London, Bristol, Edinburgh and Paris.
An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to the Isle of Man, due to leave at 9:25 am, was also canceled.
