Met Eireann Storm Eunice weather complaints with claims of 'Dublin bias' and forecast 'panic'

Queries about how storms can recognise county boundaries, accusations of panic in forecasts, and claims of Dublin bias were among the complaints made to Met Éireann about coverage of Storm Eunice, which battered Ireland earlier this year.

The storm left 80,000 homes without power, brought gusts of over 100 miles an hour off the south coast, and more than two dozen complaints to the meteorology service.

One viewer was mystified as to how Galway was expected to avoid the worst of the weather in February even as severe warnings were in place for neighbouring counties.
