Meanwhile, Clare County Council engineering crews are continuing the clean up operation across the Banner county. 150 personnel responded to incidents yesterday while Clare County Fire Service remain on standby today. The road alongside the collapsed sea wall in Cappagh, Kilrush. has remained closed as a precaution, with works to begin the reconstruction of the wall set to begin on Monday. Efforts are also continuing to clear extensive debris from the pier in Liscannor. Senior Engineer with Clare County Council, Cyril Feeney, claims clearing fallen trees from the county's roads network remains the priority. He says there is light at the end of the tunnel with the majority of the county's roads clear, however regional roads in the east of the county may remain impassable until tomorrow. Elsewhere, Met Eireann has issued another weather alert for the Banner county for Sunday. The low level yellow warning is due to come into effect on tomorrow morning from 6am to 6pm. The forecaster has warned of difficult travelling conditions and further damage to already weakened structures caused by storm Éowyn. Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly says people should make every effort to assess any damage from yesterday's storm, before the weather changes again tonight;
