There is no storm at all. The news people and RTÉ are deliberately lying to us to boost ratings. Their footage is from foreign places that get storms like New Orleans and Indonesia. Dublin is mild and clear blue skies. I won’t ever fall for this storm warning again. Still tho, glad I was able to use it as an excuse to ‘work’ from home today and tomorrow.

Except it was never meant to hit Dublin ?

I believe myself since the tv forecast started showing kmph instead of mph that everyone has lost the run of themselves.
Elderly in particular who would have been used to 50 mph winds are now scared when they see 80 on screen. Now you could say there is not much you can do about that but it seems to me the media are now practically treating km as miles too in the way they report this.
I don't think people really need to worry about storm until it hits around 100 mph in terms of structural damage etc. So stay in, Have food and heat organised in case of power cut but your house will be ok.
The media though seem to treat 130 kph as the end of the world and it really is worrying people where they really shouldn't.
Flooding is a major worry for certain areas and this should be reported accurately but again, the news channels seem to muddle it all together.

Poor man got stage fright. Green party blaming climate change. Christ. Storms happen every so often. Greens will bring in a storm tax

This is why the weather people are celebrities now and appear on the late late show, and get in free to Lillie Bordelos. They need to keep themselves in the limelight. They’ll be spouting on about global warming for the next 10 years before they retire and get replaced by the new batch.

The coastguard guy was awful bad.

Eoghan "no major incidents" Murphy lol

CH3OH

At least it is deflecting the heat from the minister for the housing crisis

'Stay high'?

Okey dokey.

We had terrible rain last week, my drains were overflowing for an hour.

There was no coloured rainfall warning then. Why not?

TheRiverman

I think Mr.Murphy should be trying to solve the homeless crisis,he is talking ****e right now.

I felt sorry for him. Volunteer s do great work.

Say my name

I blame Brexit!

Man Vs ManUre

The minister of Housing and Storms can not afford to buy socks. Either that or he had to take them off cis they got wet from having to wade through a flood in the way to RTÉ.

Hooter23

Ah jaysus 50-60 mph winds a few branches down and the odd tree and rte are preparing for the Apocalypse...:rolleyes:

Bigboldworld

Watching Prime Time, if there ever was a more fitting example of Fake News, completely overhyped this but still going along with the charade

Embarrassed to be there,perhaps.

For Eoghan Murphy this is a welcome distraction from the 10,000 homeless in Dublin. He can reel off this script without having to answer any difficult questions.

RTE are truly shameless.

ednwireland

this is an episode of brass eye isnt it ???

It's Eoghan Murphy TD on Prime Time! I've actually just lost my hearing. Please let me know if he says anything worthwhile! Ever.

lawred2

Minister Eoghan Murphy trying to appear all business like, efficient and on his brief.

Pity he's not so hot on the rest of his brief
