Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.
#StormKristin hitting Portugal and Spain tonight and Wednesday with red warnings issued in many parts of Portugal with very strong gusts and heavy rain to follow over next couple of days.
I was asked to share this video of a 84 year old grandmothers house in Graiguenamanagh co Kilkenny which flooded today. More flood relief is badly needed in Graiguenamanagh and many other areas. Over years Ministers have visited and made promises but not delivered.
Holy moly!

I retained a presence on twitter/x simply so that i could get live reports of gaa matches, locally and nationally. I have now deactivated that account. Is there anyone with influence here that would pressure the GAA at all levels to leave that platform in the interests of child safety. #gaa

Early warning out for strong winds Sunday evening and latest high resolution charts show strong gusts into many areas but strongest in Southwest and West. Very wet at times Sunday also. There is a risk of warnings being upgraded so keep an eye on updates. More later.
Temps will drop back quickly after dark with a sharp frost early but as cloud and rain reaches the West by early morning temperatures will increase a little in West. The rain could fall as sleet and snow for a time on higher ground and rain onto frozen surfaces could mean icy patches for a time
