Big heavy rain and sferics around Lismore near Fermoy and power outages reported by E.S.B
Looks like very heavy rain around Kenmare also.

I'd say it'll die out before reaching Cork City.

Wouldn't like to be in the middle of that though! Chances are you'd be seeing monsoon rain or hail for at least an hour!

Hopefully it will die out, messed up our net connection before because of it .

Some mention of the possibility of tornadoes today, could that be a hook forming at the edge of that cell approaching Cork ?

Lovely now in Cork City but sky is still very dark to the east so there could be more
