It’s not exactly been barbecue weather.
We’re not sure if you’ve noticed, but the weather in Ireland hasn’t been too pleasant this week.
Yesterday, the remains of Storm Abigail kindly visited Irish shores, making the simple task of walking and staying in some way warm surprisingly difficult.
These videos taken in Doolin, Dingle Peninsula and Tramore in Waterford capture the intensity of the winds throughout the country and make us cold just watching.

Of course, some people weren’t impressed by what they felt was a sub-standard storm.
So are we just calling storms what they are now? A-big-gale #StormAbigail #Ireland
