The Daily PollALL OF THIS wet, cold and windy weather in the month of May has got us thinking about the sun and what it might be like.
According to Met Éireann, heavy rain and wind will continue in areas for some time – and it warns that warmer weather is still some time off.
Some people can’t afford holidays abroad at the moment and have decided on a ‘staycation’, others have left the Child of Prague in the garden and are holding out hope that the weather will change.
While some have simply had enough and are going abroad where they are guaranteed some sunshine.
So, today we want to know: Is the bad Irish weather making you consider a summer holiday abroad?

@Gary Sheahan, that’s all very well but its a paid for article. One of many that this senator places on here. It’s effectively canvassing dressed up as public interest articles.. the level of patronisation is actually sickening at this stage.
@alandel: honest question, how do you know it’s paid for, don’t the normally flag that by tagging ‘Sponsored’ on it?
@David Memery: he made it up.
@alandel: Can a woman be patronising?
@David Memery: at the very minimum it is a free platform for a senator who is not chosen by the public and whom in this instance has a clear political bias.
Well I thought it a brave article to openly post. If it helps one young woman ( or man) to overcome body issues then it was worthwhile. I don’t know her but I’m sure she does other positive things in her role as Senator. Fair play to her.
@Gary Sheahan: when i think of bravery i think of omaha beach. I do not picture an overpaid politician advertising herself to the public.
As a woman in my 60s who has never voiced a comment before I have to say I loved your piece, Lynn. Our greatest challenge is ” stilling the voice in our own heads”. Well done.
Is it time to abolish the Seanad?
We need leaders who think of more things than their own body every waking moment. Ireland cannot afford to pay for this.
@Morning Gus: Unfortunately we had a chance a few years ago to abolish the Seanad and we bottled it in favour of promises of reform (which may have happened I’m not sure I care). Either way it now continues to be a waste of resources and somewhere the Taoiseach can plant cronies between elections.
We have amazing bodies. We should be proud of how resilient they are and grateful for the lovely babies they are capable of making.We should be delighted they’re still knocking around and not in the ground and that’s for sure.
Great article, Lynn
Lynn, you look lovely, genuinely.
Concentrate on putting an end to imperialism
Sanctimonious claptrap…..and a right old load of pretentious nonsense……
have your say
