HALLOWEEN IS UPON us.
The night lies caught betwixt our mortal existence and the spirit-filled Otherworld.
On this evening those who live in this other realm are more likely than ever to cross over into our own, and their intentions are more likely for worse than for better.
You best take precautions to protect yourself against their dark charms, while also taking advantage of the occult powers this night may grant you.
But… instead, here you are, sitting on your backside, reading TheJournal.ie. Do you not have anything better to be at?
Probably not. Let’s do a quiz, so, to keep you busy.

I just hope the homeless are safe and sheltered as much as possible
I see 27 a$$holes red thumbed this.
Thank you to the wonderful ESB Networks workers who restored electricity in the Miltown Malbay /Quilty area of West Clare. You are brave men.
Spare a thought for all those with nowhere to shelter: ie the homeless. X
Can’t help but think “Barney Storm” would be a cool name for a tv character
Just like Max Power?
There’s a midfielder for Wigan FC called Max Power!
I got it from a hairdryer
I’m quite sure Barney Storm would be Max Power’s arch nemesis…
and mini-meteor
I think max power would turn him into Barney Rubble
As long as the petrol powered backup generator that keeps the internet up and running doesn’t fail,
Power out in East Clare. Cooking by led torch light
You’ll never get enough heat from LEDs to cook.
It’s a gas LED
Takeaway tonight. Best excuse for it you can get.
Thank you to the wonderful ESB Networks workers who restored electricity in the Miltown Malbay /Quilty area so quickly. You are brave men.
Lovely cozy weather, fire lighting! What else could ya want..
So Met Eireann gave a yellow warning and suddenly now they have back tracked and issued an orange as it is happens?
It’s meant to be a forecast not a nowcast.
As per usual. Bunch of clowns.
I had better take in the washing I suppose.
It was an orange warning this morning too .
I wish i was home beside my fire brrrrrt
This storm is going to be legen…….. Wait for it….. Dary
Barney doesn’t sound very fierce
Should have named it Niall, Paul or how about Colin? “Oh no, Hurricane Niall is approaching!”?
Must get off the journal. Phone about to die!!!!!
The one marked on Louth is a planned service interruption, not Barneys fault
@Michael Sheils McNamee
Did you contact NIE for the details for all the country, or do only 26 of our counties matter?
Did you?
I’m sure Northern Ireland has plenty of media outlets – including world- owned and very well funded ones such as the BBC, who can provide that service for them. They’ll be fine.
*world-renowned
Free stater partitionism alive and well it seems!
Second I see any using the phrase ‘free stater’ I know I’m dealing with a delusional alcholic wishing for the good ole days
Check out the British Broadcasting Corporation website. They should have an update on the weather in your country there.
Sorry TEG for all the partitionist smugness – we’ve a lot of self-centred individuals in this neck of the woods who would deny their fellow countrymen their identity or believe that the Irish state has any responsibilities to fellow Irish citizens!
Maith an fear, ICR. Well used to it…Irish History will judge such folk in a very poor light!
It would blow the skin on your face
Santry area is out for the last hour
I live in Bray and I have not lost power once today
where is Longrea?
And they want to run fibre over the same low voltage lines and poles.
Surely there is a better option
And they want to run Fibre over the same low voltage lines and poles that are knocked each time there is a storm
They never sorted it at the hospital it took the iPhone 15 mins to get the ESB out
Who comes up with the names for these storms… like barney for f..k sake Dino, Fred. Most areas have hurricane season what do we get flinstone season. What’s next storm fran the man…….!!?
You blow me whoops that should say you love me, I love you…
