The astro physics expert said that Storm Eowyn was the “most impactful in my time at Met Eireann”
One of Met Eireann’s top meteorologists witnessed lethal cyclones, earthquakes, and volcanoes – but has never seen anything like the disruption caused by Storm Eowyn.
“I have been here four-and-a-half years and it is the first time in my career that I have seen red warnings for the entire country. Meanwhile the Taoiseach acknowledged all the work and effort so far that that has gone into the storm response - particularly frontline workers. Doctors’ health centres were also hit, prompting calls from Galway West TD Mairead Farrell for generators.
She likened the post-storm emergency to a "humanitarian crisis", accused the authorities of “huge inaction”, and claimed “we are left to fend for ourselves”.
