Is anyone currently on the ground in Ireland? The rain/wind storms sound awful and I’m curious what it’s like for travelers. Were you impacted by flight cancellations? Electrical outages? Impassible roads? Was there anywhere open to eat? How bad is the damage (especially in the west)? Thanks!

So my son lives in Co. Donegal and he said the storm was a bit bigger than had been anticipated but he never lost power, streets were fine, no flooding and not too much damage. My cousin drove up from Westmeath the friday afternoon before storm was really ramping up and roads were fine. Today, just breezy and clouds.

Glad to hear your son is okay! Some of the photos from the west coast looked pretty brutal!

My husband and family were in Dublin and Co Mayo over the past few days. I will get the details when they return but they were able to do everything planned. Kylemore Abbey was closed due to road flooding but reopened.
