All of the Republic fell under an orange wind warning for a period of time on Tuesday, while all of Northern Ireland was under a yellow advisory, with large parts also under an amber advisory.
On Wednesday, there were no inland advisories, but a status yellow gale warning applied from Mizen Head through Slyne Head to Fair Head, with a small craft warning along all coasts until Thursday.
At its strongest, Storm Bram brought gusts of up to 119kmh (74mph) amid general wind speeds of up to 78kmh (48.5mph) at the weather station at Sherkin Island at lunchtime on Tuesday.
After a week of persistent rain, national forecaster Met Éireann [the Irish Meteorological Service] said soils across the country were already highly saturated, and many rivers were approaching bank-full conditions, so additional rainfall resulted in surface and river flooding in parts.
The strong winds knocked down trees and led to travel disruption on roads, rail, and airports.

On Wednesday, Dublin Airport said operations were "largely back to normal" after more than 90 flights were cancelled due to the storm.
ESB Networks confirmed that at 4pm, approximately 54,000 properties were without power due to the storm, but the number has been reduced to 7,000 as of 7am on Wednesday.
A spokesman said: "We acknowledge the disruption to family and commercial life this causes and thank impacted customers for their patience as our crews continue to work to safely restore power."
Thousands more properties had been without power during the height of Storm Bram in Northern Ireland, with several roads also experiencing flooding.

Weather expert Alan O’Reilly of Carlow Weather took to X on Wednesday morning to confirm the storm was moving on with "plenty of sunny spells" on the cards for the day ahead.
Mr O’Reilly said: "Still breezy with some showers but at least the sun will shine."
Elsewhere, social media users took to X to share the effects Storm Bram had on their localities, with one person sharing an "escaped trampoline" while another revealed they were "very lucky" to dodge a fallen tree.
