From ME:

Tonight: Further outbreaks of rain, heaviest across the eastern half of the country, with the risk of thunder.

Was out a short time ago admiring the sunset as the cloud opened up and in flat calm conditions managed to spot a distant funnel ( camera phone only so a bit gritty ) No sferics showing up anywhere yet ( except for earlier today ), I saw over on Convective Weather that if there is it would be most likely be in the North of the country.

Things look to be pepping up across the midlands

Yeah Id say there be some fairly hefty flash flooding in places that have the train of heavy cells going through... a few strikes also already.

There's lighting in the North West from that now, seen few faint flashes from here.

Clap of thunder here in north east Kilkenny, about 6/7 miles north east of the city.
Knew it was thundery before the thunder as the satellite signal went.
Rain rate was over 79mm/hr.

Lightning in Letterkenny. Local dogs barking

Rain tonight heaviest in Leinster and Ulster with a risk of thunder. The rain will clear eastwards by morning with scattered showers following from the west. Mostly fresh southerly winds, but strong and gusty along the west coast. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees.

Hefty shower in Portarlington now with lightning every 2 or 3 minutes.

Think i just saw lightning here in Naas off to the West

JCX BXC · 07-09-2016 10:19pm

Looks like a nice cell building at Edenderry.

Dublin airport temperature up to 20c at 10pm too. Something to note. (It was 17c at 8pm)

Mez1982 · 07-09-2016 10:24pm

Edenderry getting some fairly frequent lightning and thunder with a very heavy shower of rain in the last 20 minutes. It seems to have tapered off a bit now so I think it's moving away.

Sure I saw a large flash in the very far distance from clonee. Looking at lightning radar there looks to be some out the n4 west direction.
