Dublin Zoo has announced that they’re cancelling their hugely popular Wild Lights event on Friday.
With ‘dangerous winds’ forecast for the capital tomorrow, they decided that it would be too risky to go ahead and instead offered everyone a full refund.
Met Éireann issued a status orange gale warning for all coastal regions in the country earlier today, with gusts of 110 to 130km/h expected to arrive overnight.
