Local councillor believes continuous weather warnings are scaring people

Met Eireann is being accused of over issuing warnings for normal winter weather by issuing continuous weather warnings.

That's according to Cllr Shane P O'Reilly who says the national forecaster is scaring people with these warnings.

The local councillor believes there is a narrative coming from Met Eireann in relation to climate change.

Cllr O'Reilly says people can surely make a conscious decision when it comes to normal winter weather. He feels the warning are fueling scare mongering and it's unfair on the most vulnerable in society.
