Dublin’s MetroLink myths, misinformation, and misdirection: Capacity is key Comment & Analysis: MetroLink is approaching the stage where transport agencies issue a call for companies to bid to construct and operate the line, so it’s worth spending time debunking …

Disappointing to see new car parks installed next to Met Éireann weather station at Shannon Airport. The station is now surrounded by tarmac car parks which is likely to influence the temperature in that area. Time to relocate station to a more open area surely?

Northern Ireland Roads Site updated – my thoughts on the A5 ruling: www.wesleyjohnston.com/roads/a5omag...

This is a disaster. Is that the A5 road doomed now? Can the department appeal? Sad to think of the lives that will inevitably be lost in the future as a result of this.

After 2 days in Limerick, heading back home via the old haunt of the Nenagh branch on the @IrishRail
1710 Limerick to Ballybrophy.

48 passengers onboard leaving Limerick tonight. 57% load factor. @TipperaryRail

Very frustrating for people in Roscrea, Cloughjordan, Nenagh, Birdhill, Castleconnel to get this from @irishrail.bsky.social. We don't get more services for St Patrick's festivities in Limerick, we get fewer. We get no services at all on Sunday, Monday morning or afternoon on bank holiday weekends.

March in like a lamb…

A chilly morning for most with temperatures down to -2c and high cloud before the rain, sleet and snow pushes in. Latest high resolution AROME charts showing the mix of rain and snow to come over next 36 hours.

People at Cloughjordan Train Station

78 people participated in the community train outing from Cloughjordan to Limerick on Ice today ! 27 adults 19 teens and 32 children. Thanks to @irishrail.bsky.social for putting on an extra large train for our evening return trip. Great celebration of #Community and #RailTravel .

Can I have a number 4 please Bill?

The uncertainty continues regarding risk of snowfall Saturday/Sunday

Annual community rail outings coming up... a group from Nenagh tomorrow Thurs 2nd Jan, and from Cloughjordan on Fri 3rd Jan! A large group from the community will travel to Limerick by train together, go ice skating and travel back by train. Great celebration of rail travel and community!

through the weekend and into next week with bitterly cold air in place. If the low system on Sunday was placed a little further South it could bring some rain and snow where it meets colder air but very uncertain at present so bear that in mind for any forecast you read for Sunday.

Cold arrives tomorrow as rain clears South, staying cold up until Saturday but after that is still a little uncertain with risk of rain and milder air moving up on Sunday although the two main models are not in agreement as one shows that milder air and rain staying further South and keeping us cold

Milder air moving in from the West but rain also moving in.

Railway service in Nenagh is very poor for multiple reasons. North Tipperary Community Rail Partnership campaign for improvements but very slow progress at the moment. Automating the remaining gate keeper crossings is a high priority if there are to be any real improvements to the timetable.

The Quaint Town of Nenagh in Ireland deserves a much better rail service as it was one of the places I had to arrive by bus and depart by train due to the very infrequent Irish Rail services to and from the town 🇮🇪

North Tipperary is in the Midwest region so you were right.

This day 2 weeks the stretch begins as days start to get longer again 🙌

The good news is from Sunday high pressure takes control of weather to bring some nice settled if cool weather for at least a few days and possibly longer.

Irish unity quietly becoming more significant for Dáil parties Voters are not talking about Irish unity, but an increasing number of politicians are convinced issue will occupy more time in years ahead

I’m starting to view Bluesky as the first old people social media app. Something new, catered to the needs of aging geriatric millennials who grew up with social media but now we need something that suits our pace and interests.

Republic’s incoming government should not fear taking a clear stance on unity Debating national identities will require ‘all of us to be much more upfront’ about this thorny question

Republic’s incoming government should not fear taking a clear stance on unity, says SDLP

Debating national identities will require ‘all of us to be much more upfront’ about this thorny question.

This is my happy place. Sorry for another snow reel but of all the weather I forecast and share snow is the reason I got a weather station and why I started Carlow Weather. I hope I’ll have some more snow hikes this winter. Clips from a little walk up to Mahon Falls today.

With #Sneachta forecast:

Katie Taylor told her team after Friday night’s win against Amanda Serrano that she wants to fight at two more venues before she retires. Croke Park and The Sphere in Las Vegas.

Eddie Hearn says if Croke Park was the same price as Wembley, ‘it would have already happened.’
