This morning, the AA Roadwatch is giving live updates on road delays and closures following Storm Callum sweeping the nation overnight.

A number of routes have been highly affected by fallen trees and debris and so, motorists are asked to travel cautiously this morning. In Cork, the Cobh/Fota Road has been closed due to a reported mudslide. AA Roadwatch has not announced when the road is set to reopen. Aside from that, here are other updates to affected routes across the country. Tipperary - A fallen tree is completely blocking the Clonmel Road (R689) about 1.5km outside Killenaule.
