What remained of Youghal’s boardwalk [in east Cork] has been pummelled by the sea this morning. Very sad.

John Crowley just sent Tramore Tourism this amazing photo of a giant wave hitting the Pier in Tramore. The pier storm wall is 30ft high so you can call a height on it yourself. Answers on a post card please…. What height is this wave?

Tramore Tourism writes:

Storm is surging over Tramore Promenade. Please everyone stay well clear of the beach area this morning. Do not attempt to drive anywhere along the beach front! The tide is dropping but the swell & wind is still increasing. Big thanks to Tony Power for this amazing photo. Stay safe out there people.

A wall of water going up then the wind takes over and it crashes back to earth with a big splash flooding all around it. Amazing sight. Nature at its best but you got to be at your most careful. Tramore County Waterford [last night].

MizenHead

Best Photo’s of Baltimore writes this morning:

A calm day at the Mizen Head the other day! 50ft swell expected to hit the coast here later and I hear An Siopa in Cape Clear has already lost its windows and is flooded. Be safe everyone.

court[John English described as a “serious threat to the women of Cork” was granted bail yesterday against the reactivation of the suspended portion of his 18-year sentence]

Counsel for English, Dominic McGinn SC, yesterday told the Court of Criminal Appeal that the obligation for English to abide by all recommendations of the probation service was placed on him for five years from Jun 28, 2004 — the date of his sentence — and not the date of his release from prison in Sept 2012. He said this was the only bond entered into by English.
Mr Justice Adrian Hardiman, presiding, said this “elegant and narrow” point, an unusual structural matter concerning the constitution of a court order, appeared to be arguable.
He said the court considered Mr McGinn had raised a substantial point, albeit “an entirely technical one”, which allowed English to surmount the hurdles by way of getting bail pending an appeal. As any release on bail would also have to be under terms and conditions, the judge said the court itself would take the bond…
