#StormBarra is a plot by the Communists at Met Eireann to bring in mandatory raincoats. There will be an anti raincoat protest outside Tipperary county council offices tomorrow at 3pm, all welcome.

Disappointing to see so much #StormBarra information being leaked by Met Eireann to the media without consulting the government first.
