What could be the biggest storm in over 50 years is about to hit Ireland, but you really wouldn’t be able to tell from the reaction of the vast majority of the country.
Plenty of people are planning ahead and prepping for the worst, but most just seem to be brushing it off.
The reactions on Twitter say it all. The rest of the world are freaking out about a once in a lifetime event while Irish people just don’t seem worried…
