THE FIRST SNOWS of the season are here.
You hadn’t heard?
Sure the country LOVES to overreact a little to the first bout of cold winter weather.
We’ve even been joining in ourselves…
Anyway, there have been plenty of flurries on the hills and in upland areas over the last few days.
And hillwalker Billy Horan captured some stunning views of the country’s highest peak this morning – as he ventured to the summit of Carrauntoohil.
“This was the scene this morning 13 minutes after dawn when the fog started to clear to reveal the view, it was short lived though as the fog surrounded me again 30 sec later,” he said on Facebook.
“It did clear again when I was 25% of the way down the mountain so I went back up again and it closed in again just as I approached the summit, the weather was playing tricks on me!”
Check them out:
It’s set to drop as low as minus three tonight, by the way (colder, no doubt, on the Kerry peaks).

#6. In virtually all cases, the Gardai need a search warrant to enter private property/premises.
@Thomas Blackcat: according to the article they did have a warrant..
@Patrick Heavey: Yes – in this instance. But, often, they infer a right to go in anywhere.
Just on the Conor mcgregor court case today,,,he failed to turn up on four different occasions? How does that work?Any1 else would have a warrant out for them? Then doesn’t turn up today so they delay it…is this not a waste of court time? Rules for one and all that! Joke system
@irishred: Is this about #4?
