Re this "neighbour" supposing the story is true.

Does he usually swim in the river?
If so, fair enough..it's his routine

If not and it was a once off to give "two fingers to authority" what exactly did he achieve other than shrivelled genitalia and a sniffle? Will he be running for office? Does he think "authority" even knows or that Leo could give a ****?

Will you put these questions to him for me?

He swims regularly. He is an outdoor set hunting shooting fishing type. Horse trainer. Mid 50s.

Does stuff like charity parachute jumps, used to do rallying. Basically does what he likes and doesn’t take kindly to “advice” telling him to stay indoors on days he doesn’t want to.

Think it was the AA Roadwatch wan on Radio One earlier who said she stayed in a hotel near the studio last night.

I believe Newstalk are putting their staff up in a nearby hotel. Seán Moncrieff, however, 'let it slip' that Ivan Yates is staying in the Fitzwilliam Hotel, away from the hoi polloi!!

I am loving the weather...absolutely loving it. I feel like I'm on holiday...Out on the slopes with the sleds all day...home for a hot chocolate...out again and back for a coddle for dinner...Best thing is I'm at home and can relax and enjoy a glass of wine by the fire.

I do feel bad for those who can't enjoy it... But for us it's so lovely enjoying this bonus time together with this fantastic weather (subject to what Emma brings tonight!)

Ah I dunno, there was a snowflake spotted in parts of the west and n. west, today ( Thursday), just as well the gubberment cancelled the public transport there like.

Honestly this is a non event in south Dublin so far. I think people should get red warnings etc but not go into lockdown mode over it. People and business should get by like normal and just be extra cautious. I've driven in far worse winds and rain than this breeze with flurry of very light snow.

As for this metre of snow. Will ya stop lol. There's no chance of that happening. As of now there's 2 to 3 inches of snow in general all over Dublin. If you want to go find a hedge or a wall with snow piled up to it next to it and take a selfie to pretend we've deep snow then be my guest. I'm sure parts of the wicklow mountains where no one lives will get deep snow. But who cares about that.

Look at any day we've strong winds and heavy rain. There's always loads of car accident's and people getting killed. Why are we so precious when it comes to a bit of snow? The same amount of people would die as a normal Irish day of bad weather.

But what about the 7yr old that died in England. If we hadn't shut down the whole fecking country it might have happened here.

Considering we’re about 7 hours into a red warming, nope, I think we can say we’ve over reacted.

maybe it seems like that in your neck of the woods,

but some parts of the country are under 6 ft of snow with conditions worsening by the hour

At least he thinks for himself and gives two fingers to authorities who seem to have completely ballsed up this “red alert”. A national red alert don’t forget.

Is this the same British isles that had people stranded on motorways for 10+ hours? I'd rather be here where we're kept regularly informed and updated so as to avoid that misery!

Samuel T. Cogley

I get the impression Leo isn't the only one who'd like two fingers from your 'neighbour'.

He could have two frostbitten fingers, if he's not careful.

Why do we suddenly give a **** who's neighbor is doing what. Let him off who cares

Beechwoodspark

Ok bear with me but I’d say there’s loads of guys n gals around the country heading out for a midnight swim as we speak. More power to them.

Why be confined at home since 4pm on “advice” which seems to have been deeply flawed at this stage. Fair enough Wicklow and higher ground in the east have got hit. But NATIONWIDE????

I quite agree, so if they want to heed advice on the weather - let them.

People in Monaghan and Offaly were asking to be put in the Red Zone, because Louth and Kildare were in it. And then Galway would want it and then Clare. It was impossible to stop.

People CAN do what they want. There's no curfew. The dramatics, jaysus.

Er who is saying people can't?!? Its a red alert it's not a mandatory curfew.
However people shouldn't expect anyone to help them if they get into trouble.
