    2 kite surfers rescued off blackrock in louth -by cloggerhead lifeboat after they got into trouble - what did they expect- should have been left out there to their own devices as opposed to putting safety of lifeboat crew at risk - stupid gob****es with no respect for the welfare of volunteers-

    Wind after seriously picking up in Wexford town in last 10 mins.


    ME were bang on for 12:00 hitting.

    Water level high at the moment in harbour & southerly winds will mean flooding I reckon.

    Just after a couple of scary gusts in Limerick now, house rattling mad. Must be crazy on higher and more exposed areas.

    They are not in Donegal maybe but in areas where it had ACTUALLY hit .

    Funny, I was just going to ask was the "event" over as there's nothing to report from Enniscorthy at 12.11.
