just wondered why southern Irelend/Eire weather outputs across tv, radio etc are left alone. i realise that it's a different country but it's a neighbour and a beautiful one at that. the sw tip of norway is fit for coverage on all bbc forecasts but Eire almost ignored. maybe it's a money or political issue. but from where does our weather come? in winter, mostly a more westerly direction. it first lets rip on s ireland ie an almost realtime indicator that a storm or whatever is about to hit the UK. the internet helps for access to whats going on weatherwise in Eire but I for one would like the bbc to give a nod to our fantastc neighbours. mine's a guiness
