Met Eireann has issued a rather miserable forecast for this bank holiday weekend.
Unsettled weather will bring rain and drizzle as the weekend is set to be a washout. The wet conditions are expected to continue into next week as a weather forecaster has warned of a "risk of storm". Weather Alerts Ireland said on Facebook: "For the first time in a long time there is a risk of a storm.
"Still a long way off but there is a risk of a deep low pressure system pushing towards Ireland next Tuesday into Wednesday. The ECMWF and GFS are both forecasting this system to move close to Ireland."
