Several flights have been cancelled due to Storm Ashley
But the stormy weather that hit Ireland over the weekend led to hundreds of flight cancellations and delays that meant several players have yet to arrive in camp as planned.
The FAI were unable to say who, or how many, had yet to arrive as Association officials and players made new travel arrangements after the chaos of Sunday.
But all are expected to arrive today ahead of Wednesday’s departure for Tbilisi for a tie where Ireland will be clear favourites, having beaten Georgia 11-0 and 9-0 in their last two meetings.

Ireland internationals Diane Caldwell, Lily Agg, Ciara Grant, and Kyra Carusa – as well as the retired Sinead Farrelly – are all signatories.
