Storm Eva to hit Ireland later today
Source: earth.nullschool.net
An orange alert weather warning has been issued by Met Éireann. The system’s strong enough to warrant a name under the new Anglo-Irish storm-naming system.
• This one is called Eva – and it’s the fifth to hit this winter, after Abigail, Barney, Clodagh and Desmond, which swept across the country at the start of the month, leading to heavy flooding across the Shannon region.

Nollaig Shona from all in Gaelscoil Liatroma!
Méabh Ní Chathasaigh wrote: It has been a very busy few weeks in Gaelscoil Liatroma. Everyone was delighted to hear that work is commencing on the building of the new school and the new school plans are very exciting! The children took on roles as entrepreneurs with the production of beautiful handmade cards, Christmas logs and Christmas decorations. These were sold at the local Farmers Market. Great way of teaching the importance of mental maths! Thanks to all who helped out with this venture.
