15 Photos And Videos That Show The Devastation #StormFrank Is Wreaking Across Ireland

It feels like Ireland has been getting battered by storms for the last month – and it was certainly a wet and windy Christmas that won’t be fondly remembered.

But #StormFrank is taking the damage across the country to a new level, with the south and the west bearing the real brunt of the damage. The River Shannon is bursting its banks in a number of places, and there’s worse to come. 

Here are some of the scenes people are facing across the country…
