Storm Desmond is kicking Ireland’s arse at the minute.
It was only a few weeks ago that Storm Barney was messing with us big time, now we have another unassumingly-named tempest screwing with our weekend.
Since you’re probably smart enough to stay indoors today, you may not have seen some of the scenes caused by the storm. Take a look below to see what state our country is in right now…
