Millions of people in Ireland and northern parts of the U.K. have heeded the advice of authorities to stay at home.

Showcasing the best young boxing talent, BBC Northern Ireland, BBC Wales and BBC Scotland will broadcast a series of three boxing events live on BBC iPlayer and BBC television, starting with Belfast on Saturday 1 February. Nations Fight Night will bring live boxing back to BBC audiences right across the UK.

Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland are braced for a storm spiraling in from the Atlantic, bringing gusts of up to 100 m

A rare “stay at home” warning has been issued for parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland as a severe storm lashes the region, bringing dangerous 100mph (160 kmh) winds and unleashing travel chaos.

Three years have passed since substantial changes were made to the GB Highway Code, which introduced new rules on a ‘hierarchy of road users’, junction priority, close passes, and much more. While the Northern Ireland government is waiting to see the impact of those changes, Cycling UK has warned that greater delays will cost more lives.

Ireland's national weather service says the country has seen 114 mph wind gusts, the highest ever recorded on the island.

The bank has blamed the decision to shut the branches on customers shifting away from banking in person to using mobile services.

The storm brought 100 mile-per-hour winds to the island and also battered Scotland and northern England. Britain’s weather office issued a red warning, its highest level of alert.

The storm had knocked out power to more than half a million utility customers by early Friday as it moved across Ireland.

Damage could be seen in Belfast in Northern Ireland on Friday as a major storm continued to lash Ireland and Scotland with hurricane-force winds.

Northern Ireland is set to have further disruptive weather after days of strong winds and snow last week following Storm Eowyn. On Wednesday morning, the Met Office issued a new weather warning for ice across parts of the region.

Storm Eowyn Friday continued to cause power outages for hundreds of thousands, knocked down trees and disrupted transportation as it moved across Scotland and Northern Ireland into Britain's West Midlands region.
