Never seen such a drastic call, Shannon bursting its banks again, half the roads in the south and south west impassable due to fallen trees,  depressing to see the country taking such a battering.

Worst seems to be over down here in Kerry, chaos all over the county with falling slates and debris on roads.
Council workers doing an excellent job clearing the roads, fair dues to them.

Thought this thread might be about Kilkenny's recent appeal for less penalising of physicality in hurling !

ESB Networks has said 260,000 customers are without power due to storm damage caused by winds of up to 160km/h.
Most of the customers without power are in west Cork and Kerry.
Gusts of 160km/h were recorded this afternoon at Shannon Airport and Waterford Airport recorded winds of 150km/h this morning.
A state of emergency has been issued for Co Kilkenny due to damage caused by high winds.
In a statement gardaí said a local co-ordination group has strategically assessed the situation and identified a list of roads to be cleared.
The priority will be reopening routes to the hospital.
Gardaí and county council officials have advised people to stay indoors and avoid any unnecessary travel.
Met Éireann has extended a code level red warning for the south with "dangerous westerly winds" and mean speeds of 80 to 100km/h and very severe gusts of 130 to 170km/h.
The warning is valid until 7pm.
There is disruption to phone lines, numerous incidents of debris blocking roads and damage to property as a result of the storm.
Kerry County Council is urging people to stay indoors, with reports of damaged tress, tiles and debris.
The storm brought high seas and damaging winds, especially in exposed coastal areas.
Eircom said 11,000 faults have been reported on its network as a result of the recent bad weather.
AA Roadwatch has said a number of roads have been blocked in the south and southeast by fallen trees, telephone poles and other debris.
Gardaí have appealed to motorists in Cork and Kerry not to make unnecessary journeys.
University Hospital, Limerick said it was expecting 14 ambulances to arrive by 5.30pm with injuries caused during the storm.
The hospital is attempting to clear as many beds as possible to cope with the increased demand for services.
Elective surgery has been cancelled for Thursday.
Cork Airport suspended operations for safety reasons while Shannon Airport has reopened following its closure earlier.
Dublin Airport is advising that it remains open but passengers are advised to keep in contact with their airlines as the weather situation changes.
