GERALD FLEMING RAINED on everyone’s parade at the weekend, telling us we are not in the midst of a heatwave.
That does make sense when you look to Britain, where temperatures are set to reach 29 degrees today and 32 degrees tomorrow.
Despite the difference on this side of the Irish Sea, you might find yourself craving a trip to the beach later today.
Met Éireann is forecasting temperatures as high as 25 degrees later in the east of the country. Will this be the hottest day of the year?
The rest of the country could see at least 18 degrees, which isn’t anything to scoff at either.
However, there’s a band of cloud moving in from the Atlantic which is likely to prevent the sun from splitting stones in the west.
But remember, this is Ireland. The forecast also contains the words “rain”, “dizzle”, and “showers”, mainly aimed at the west and south.
Let’s just forget about that for a minute.

Blanchardstown seems to be becoming a rather rough area
@Tony Donoghue: what do you mean by becoming… it’s been dodge city for decades
@Tony Donoghue: it always was
@Tony Donoghue: I think you’ll find that it’s the same small group of people who are involved in a tit for tat drug turf war with another grouo from Finglas. The incidents in the past few weeks are all related to this, a few Love/Hate cast wannabes.
@Tommy Byrne: don’t really know the place at all, only ever been to the shopping centre myself
@Tony Donoghue: it’s an absolute kip
@GrumpyAulFella: I wouldn’t say they’re wannabes, they’re the kind that they made love hate about. Several shootings, hit teams driving around on the hunt for Mr flashy as they call himso I wouldn’t call them wannabes to be far. Not trying to call them cool kids either though don’t get me wrong
I wouldn’t fancy firing that, state of it
@Robert O’Neill: maybe they not well looked after, wasn’t there a lad lately who injured himself during a gangland shooting
What is happening in Corduff, Lucan, Swords, Drogheda, Tallaght etc. is that various local gangs are fighting to control the local recreational drugs market. So recreational drug users should take responsibly, remove the money and the motivation from these gangs. Remember it always harms someone THINK BEFORE YOU BUY.
@Think Before You Buy: Why? What happened in Lucan/Swords?
@Think Before You Buy: They should be running free workshops telling people how to grow their own weed and put these lads out of business
My grandfather (farmer) has more catrages in his sock drawer than that.
And he wouldn’t take
an aspirin let alone sell one.
@Tom Kelly: thought they found it in a giant oyster by the photo
