Yikes.
Meanwhile…
Council staff in Galway very much of the view that this isn’t over. High tide again at 5 and then “the highest tide of the cycle” due in 5am tomorrow pic.twitter.com/kzaz525QAE

An emotional Niall McNelis of Celtic and Claddagh Jewellery surveys the damage. He’s lost thousands of euro in stock and his car. “I’m gutted, I really am… not good today.” #StormEleanor pic.twitter.com/ekJ31WB9sy

One of the things people in Galway saying about the flooding last night – “It came up through the ground”. It’s a medieval city, the drains and canals underground played havoc last night. #StormEleanor

Typical FFG planning and unpreparedness governing fiasco
actually Trump was behind this one – all that pretending he doesn’t believe in climate change stuff, it’s merely for show and part of his arch-plan
funnily enough I heard Ivan Yates pooh, poohing the orange-alert issued by the met office yesterday evening, so it wouldn’t surprise me if his complacency was echoed by his former blushirted colleagues in power..
Well Ivan yates is a poster boy for those types isn’t he dav?
a complete bluffer, bser and failure at everything he touched
retire with big fat ministerial pension to ‘concentrate’ on completely screwing up his business
then run away at the first sign of trouble and expect the taxpayer to pick up the tab for his failure
then come back and profit off his nepotism and personal contacts as if nothing ever happened
sure no bother t’ya wink wink Ivan ye’re a decent lad
is there a more quintessential FFG ‘insider’? (other than our very own Dan and Derek?)
Perhaps.
But we need to reserve some ire for our woefully inept and chronically incompetent local authorities. They always seem to get a free pass every time. Loads “employed”, many millions spent every year and SFA to show for any of it.
And we just accept that that’s the way it is.
The real danger here is that more and more of these country people are going to up sticks and come and live in Dublin.
#DUBLEXIT
Hahaha
OOOhhh does this mean we are friends again???????
Yes – I’m really stuck for mates if you wanna know the truth. So you’ll have to do for now.
Also it’s my New Years resolution to be good and kind to all
Actually scratch that. I had momentarily forgotten about your cruel and barbaric mental health jibe at Daisy Chainsaw just before XMAS and again at Clampers Outside just this morning. Your a wicked and mean man who deserves nothing but pain and isolation.
I will get back to you later regarding our pending friendship. I need time to consider.
I think Go A Way is a woman.
Oh I had assumed a gay man. Same thing really I suppose.
I won’t hold my breath
I took no jibe at either Clampers or Daisy FWIW.
The latter was a polite inquiry. As for Clampers I’m sorry I even thought to reply to his posts today and I’ll at least agree with you that I think better of it now.
You made a really nasty comment to Frilly last night. Told her that you knew that it was a difficultt time of the year for her and to ” mind herself”. You are a bully. This is not the first time though you have behaved in such a fashion on Broadsheet. Tell us what your problem is. I am sure we shall be only happy to help ya.
what’s all this personalised jibing for folks? come on it’s a new year.
BarelyLegal and Go A Way are the same person. Your personal attacks on Frilly are disgusting. You really hit below the belt. Every time. You should stop it now.
sorry E no idea what you’re on about
please leave me out of your personalised score-settling . thanks
nothing personal about it. I just don’t like the way Go A Way behaves towards Frilly.It is vindictive. If you are not GO A Way, then you have nothing to worry about.
Why would I need to have anything to worry about anyway?
Are you going to come around and beat me with your stupid stick or something?
As I said – leave me out of your petty squabbles. Thanks.
Seems like I have hit the nail on the head with my stick:) You seem to be quite bothered by my comment. I am just supporting Frilly from personal attacks.If you are not Go A Way, then no need to feel so inadequate. Happy to help .
You wind up some innocent stranger E – that’s a good way of making friends on the internet.
As for barelylegal what he/ she says is spot on- if you have a problem with me say it to me here and I’d be glad to respond – leave others out of your sad little point scoring. Happy to help.
G I am not trying to make friends on the internet saddo. You bully Frilly. I am asking you to stop doing this.
In case you can’t remember. Last night you said the below to Frilly. It was just really nasty and I think you should stop .
Go A Way

This seems like it is a difficult time of year for you frilly – mind yourself now
Yeah. I don’t get how you think that is being nasty in any way whatsoever. In fact putting that spin on it says more about your mindset than anything else.
#1) frilly can fight her own battles if she thinks I am unduly being offside or mean
#2) I noted Frilly has been not herself lately, over the Xmas and new year period in several posts , that’s what prompted my genuine feelings of concern. Yesterday for example she ate the face of Shayna for no apparent reason whatsoever other than taking her up wrong on something.
Hope that helps.
Now stick to your own advice queen bee and stop bullying random strangers like barelylegal on the internet. It’s embarrassing and demeaning to yourself, and as you’re constantly adopting new usernames as well, some people may inadvertently conclude you’re some kind of troll, weirdo, stalker, control freak and/ or a combination of all of the above.
Happy to help.
I follow Frilly on twitter. I think she is funny. I am a 61 year man recoverding from cancer , thanks for your concern . As for the rest of your comments. You sound paranoid. I folllow Broadsheet and have seen you on it a lot. you bully many people on it. you demean yourself every day of your life. hope that helps ms. nasty.
Christ t’night where to start with this comment!
Anyway good luck to you and to frilly, I hope your recovery continues though why you brought that up now I can’t even begin to fathom.
Yes. We’ve turned over a new leaf.
Peace and love, dear, peace and love.
In contrast to the above I am willing to be your friend Mildred St. Meadowlark. We shall start out as friends and see what develops ok.
Penfriends, I hope.
I can send you postcards and trinkets, and you can send me grainy b&w photos and liquorice laces.
Fupp dah.
Well you’re a menace. Like a cat.
Looks adorable, is actually a harbinger of chaos and malchance.
The photos would be more sticky than grainy, I fear.
Well one ladys fear is another ladys titillation so please allow Mildred to define her own excitement. Thanking you.
mildred’s milkshake bringing all the boys to the yard again, i see..
It’s vanilla raspberry, in case you’re interested.
Mine’s chocolate.
I think the ladies know what I’m talking about.
Yes, yes we do. Better than sex,or so I’m told
I’ve heard that all of the shops in that part of town aren’t insured for flood related damage too.
Very few (if any) home or business insurance policies cover flood damage any more
How come we all didn’t get a day off work?
Why can’t Met Eireann use plain language and give the wind speed in KMPH or MPH? WTF is a KT to anyone except the over 65 stuffed shirts and blouses in the yacht clubs of Dun Laoghaire and Howth?
Thought you were a sailing man
