Storm "Eunice" is about to sweep across Ireland!
Today, Ireland's National Fire and Emergency Management Service (NDFEM) will hold its third meeting with the Irish Weather Service and the Office of Public Works (OPW) as Storm Eunice will sweep the country tonight.

In the mainly affected areas of Ireland, Cork Cork and Carey Kerry are in red alert status, while Donegal, Mayo Mayo, Sligo Sligo, Leitrim Leitrim and Roscommon are in orange alert status. At the same time, schools in these areas have also announced that they will be closed tomorrow (Friday).

NPHET has agreed to abolish the requirement to wear masks!
Ireland's National Public Health Emergency Response Team (NPHET) has agreed that the wearing of a mask may no longer be mandatory in most situations where there is a requirement. The proposal will be presented to the Irish government by Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan.
That is, if the recommendation is accepted by the Irish government, the wearing of masks will no longer be mandatory in schools, public transport, taxis, retail establishments and public offices, as will customer-facing establishments such as restaurants and bars.
However, given the nature of medical institutions such as hospitals and nursing homes, as well as the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 within some institutions, masks are still required in these institutions. Based on the current good public health situation in Ireland, they believe that this is good for the health of the children.
Connecting Cork, Dublin and Belfast,
Ireland's new rail is expected to be completed next year!
The head of the Irish Railways said cross-border hourly train service connecting Cork, Dublin and Belfast could be in place by the end of next year. Rail Ireland plans to replace the entire train landscape as part of a plan to reform cross-border services.
They plan to move to hourly-billed services, and currently, there is no hourly billed service in Ireland. It has been working with Translink to achieve at least hourly service during the morning and evening peak periods before developing a full service in 2027.
The new railway aims to shorten the journey between Dublin and Belfast to 90 minutes, i.e. to upgrade the existing line to 200 km/h, which is limited to the main route. Currently, the journey time between Dublin and Belfast is more than two hours.
Currently, Irish Rail only carries more than 1 per cent of the cargo on the entire island. The company's head said container transport by rail would reduce the carbon footprint of individual containers by 75 percent. He believes that the proportion of rail transport in the future will reach double digits.
