Dublin Fire Brigade says Storm Eleanor has left its units busier than during Ex-Hurricane Ophelia back in October.
According to the Irish Independent, the DFB received close to 1,200 calls in the 48-hour period from New Year's Day with many related to fallen trees and other potential hazards.
One such incident occurred at Alden Road in Sutton where the road remains blocked this morning.
