See that all evening also from down here in Arklow,it's quite frequent

There are a few tiny showers to drift up overnight in the east that might make some noise but miniscule compared to what will cross north leinster/Ulster

That is some show going on looking South over the Burren now towards Shannon, massive forks and happening so frequently, worth missing the Meteor shower for.
