Justice , at least, was had for Ashling today.
I'm sure it won't take away the pain, but I hope her family and friends can take some solace from it.
RIP.

@halfpasteleven my heart was in my mouth awaiting the verdict. Thank God it was the right decision. So tough on her family.

We didn't have so many storms in the god old pandemic days...
So many murders in the news is very sad.

Cork has gone to orange. It looks like a bad one with many areas on a red warning. Stay safe, everyone.

My kids are all supposed to be working away from their home bases and have early starts tomorrow. I wish they were at school and I could keep them at home! I think they would like to stay home too and eat toast...

By a stroke of good luck, I booked tomorrow off work, so adult DD and I could do some Christmas shopping. As it happens, DD has a bad dose so we may not be going anywhere. But neither of us will have to venture out early.

Stay safe everyone. Hope the storm is less severe than anticipated.

You can stay at home and write lists! I write a lot of lists.

I'm in a red warning area but it's eerily calm at the moment. Hopefully it won't be as bad as predicted - it usually isn't! And then we're blindsided a couple of weeks later by a storm that had no warnings and batters us!!

Stay safe everyone

I love a good list.

Stay safe everyone

Wow this storm is hitting hard. I'm afraid to check the damage done outside

The power has just gone here. That wind sounds really furious.

I don't want to jinx myself but think my area is over the worst of it 🤞

It's very quiet here in Co. Cork. Nothing going on at all.

Red warning in Kerry, ds has a private bus to school so that did operate one hour later than usual so another hours pay for childminder.

dd's school decided they needed to do a safety audit at 10am and classes would begin at 11:15am and her bus is operated by bus eireann so I'd to leave work to take her to it. Unless other parts of the county were hit badly it was just a windy night in my part.

It was a nice bright breezy morning in Cork after a wet windy night. One lot of washing on the line and another load in the machine.
Its now wet and grey and breezy. 😡

I'm in a red warning zone and defo felt it was warranted

If anywhere is in a red warning area they should take it seriously. Once branches are falling the roads are dangerous.

Wind ripped five solar panels off the roof of our shed and destroyed them (Galway)

That is a pain. The climate is against us.

Well, we broke the climate.
Wow theDudesmummy, it must have been absolutely awful where you are.
I read that it was the most intense storm of the season so far.

It feels way too early to have had this many storms...

The victim impact statements gave me the shivers. Rest in peace Ashling.

@JaneJeffer they were so sad!! They were right though, he doesn't seem to give a fuck or be remorseful. Horrible evil man. RIP Ashling

It's absolutely harrowing. He is every parent's worst nightmare. I'm so sad for them all.

My heart goes out to Ashling Murphy's family and friends.
It is incomprehensible.
Her young pupils,
will have been so bewildered and frightened by her sudden loss in such awful circumstances.
She sounds like a remarkable young woman.
Ireland's loss 🥲

As for the evil scum.
Words fail me.
