Didn't see any myself

Pictures in the Kerryman today from top of the Conor Pass of cars in difficulty after a "blizzard" like shower last Monday, these pics may have been used elsewhere also.

i'm confused, MT says worst of the winds in Galway\Mayo between 8pm and 10pm, others are saying between 2am and 3am, can someone clarify

It looks like windy in Galway from 8pm for quite a few hours, and then later in Mayo. If you have a look at the short range forecast from met.ie here:

http://www.met.ie/forecasts/short-range.asp

and use the Wind tab, it'll give you a pretty accurate picture of what to expect and when.

Sleety rain at Hell Fire (280 m)

the situation is complex,in ireland that equates to, expect the dullest of weather,with an extreme gust thrown in somewhere,where somebodys shed roof has been blown off in bellmullet, the forecast has changed so many times,with regards winds,in the last 24 hours, south connaght,muster,south leinster,then wexford, back to munster and connaght and northwards,most exposed to see severe winds, altough if you read regional forcasts on met.ie this all changes again in contrast to national forcasts,its a quagmire,at this stage who knows,but unlikely to see anything noteworthy above yellow warnings,jaysus a bit of consistent detail would be good, this is where met eireann fails, please start stating % probabilities like the uk met office.

very blustery now in west connaught,i.e west mayo,Lights flickering,have had no curries or guiness in the last 2 days either,but there was a strange stinch when i opened boards earlier,hmmmmm.... maybe it will be a Dorris situation, or maybe iv had too much baileys. i also have a cat but it coudnt care less about the wind. *farts*
