Limerick Council has cancelled its planned New Year’s Eve celebrations due to Storm Dylan.
It said that threats of flooding and severe weather led to it having to make the decision.
Limerick Council said that high tides are predicted in Limerick on Sunday morning at 4.29am and Sunday evening at 4.55pm.
Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Service, Regional Services with Limerick City and County Council, Caroline Curley says that it is with great regret that the events have been called off.
"However, the extravaganza will still take place at a later date, the event will now happen as part of Limerick’s St Patrick’s Festival 2018."
