    Flights (to Dublin) looking like they're getting diverted... flight from Birmingham made it almost all the way across the Irish Sea and is now heading back towards Liverpool, another on its way to Shannon.

    Conditions outside are utterly foul and I'm not in the least bit surprised that flights are being diverted. Wind sheer would be lethal....

    EIN179 just flew over the Airport, thought it was going in for a landing but has past it, wonder where it is off to!

    He's at 20,000 feet so he has no intentions of landing at EIDW. My guess would be that due to the traffic on its way to shannon he'll bank left shortly and head to EINN, Even though recent reports show gusts of 50kts at shannon

    Looks like EIN179 has a preference for Belfast over Shannon!

    Around 6 planes now circling in the Irish sea awaiting instructions.

    Looking at FR24, EIN65T looks like he's diverting to aldergrove, also looks like 179 is on his way to aldergrove also.

    Looks like EIN639 has had enough of circling and is heading to the UK, maybe Liverpool Airport!

    In Balbriggan and the gusts are amazing. Our house is timber framed and the amount of creaking coming from the roof/walls is quite unreal.
