Concern Raised Over Delays To Localised Clare Weather Warning System

Concerns have been raised over delays to rolling out a localised Clare weather warning system. The Government had initially given an undertaking to deliver a new polygon system by the end of this year in the aftermath of Storm Éowyn in January. Clare as a whole did not have an alert beyond status yellow during Storms Austen and Boelo, despite some areas of the county enduring significant winds and flooding. Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney says the updated model is urgently needed.
