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...

Waking up at 5AM is slightly more tolerable when there’s the Best Sunrise Views in Dublin and the opportunity to flex on main. There’s a specific kind of person who voluntarily wakes up at sunrise.
