It has been a busy day for authorities as they begin the massive clean-up operation in the aftermath of one of the most severe storms to hit Ireland.

In County Roscommon, thousands of homes remain without power on Friday evening, while many secondary roads around the county are blocked because of fallen trees and wires.

Here are some of the pictures taken locally on Friday, including an aerial shot of the damage done to the Connacht GAA Air Dome.
