These Photos And Videos Prove That Storm Barney Is Ripping The Arse Out Of Dublin

It feels like winter is well and truly upon us now as we get battered by the dreaded Storm Barney.

Social media is starting to light up with photos and videos of the storm as it batters Dublin and we gathered up some of the most striking ones below...
