RECENT flood damage has cost Kerry County Council €3.5 million. The effects of the deluge of rain that fell leading up to and during the Christmas period caused damage the length and breath of the county. Radio Kerry reports the figure equates to 70% of the council’s yearly budget for roads on […]

IT’S an area prone to flooding in the past and this time it’s no different. We went to Ballymullen to see the extent of the flooding and it looks bad as you can see in the video (below) taken at 1.30pm today. The fire service and civil defence were on […]

FEELING blue this morning because of the weather? We don’t blame you. Here’s what Ireland looks like on the rainfall radar supplied by Met Eireann at 9.30am. That big blue hue over Ireland shows Kerry is being hit by high winds and sustained rainfall, expected to last into the early […]

WE’VE been enjoying some incredibly mild weather so far this winter, much to the chagrin of oil suppliers and fuel distributors no doubt!

  TWO “significant earthquakes” were recorded last weekend at Valentia Observatory. But don’t worry, they both occurred thousands of miles away on the Alaskan Peninsula and off the Japanese Coast. Thankfully, no casualties have been reported, but maybe a few sheep were awakened when the shocks rumbled their way to south Kerry. According […]
