The warnings are due to come into effect in the early hours of Monday and will remain in place in some counties until 4pm on Monday
Met Éireann has officially issued several weather warnings for Bank Holiday Monday as Storm Floris is set to bring "very strong and blustery southwest winds" and heavy rainfall to many parts of the country.
Given the time of the year, there are concerns that significant damage could be caused because of the number of people travelling over the weekend and the number of events taking place, many of which will have temporary structures installed.
It is also possible that some outdoor events and festivals may be impacted by the stormy weather.
The wind and rain warnings, issued this Saturday morning, impact eight counties along the west coast with Met Éireann stating that possible impacts include dangerous travelling conditions, structural damage, fallen trees, debris and loose objects, power outages and wave overtopping.
All of the warnings are due to come into effect in the early hours of Monday and will remain in place in some counties until 4pm on Monday.
