Well, Storm Buelo has caused serious flooding across Connemara, with roads in Cárna becoming impassable and major safety concerns raised in Kylemore.

We'll go to both areas of Connemara in a few moments' time, but we'll start with Marcus Monis O'Connor out there in Cárna.

Majin Wach Monis, a rough weekend, I'm sure, out in Cárna, no more than a lot of other areas on the coast of County Galway.

And just have someone local that would have local knowledge of the issues.

And going back to Eileen there, the N59 is under the remit of the TII, and they have a specific document for under bridges, and it's Airspan Bridge Management System, and that states that debris should be cleared at least once to twice a year under their bridges.

So the TII would have a lot to answer for there in regards to the Kylemore Bridge there.

which is a serious concern, serious issue there.

Well done, captain and crew.

We drove for a couple of hours through beautiful Connemara countryside to visit a place called Kylemore Abbey and its Victorian walled garden.

Now our home to Benedictine nuns, it has a huge restored Victorian walled garden six acres large, which we walked all around in lovely sunshine.

we could take a peek into the restored former head gardener's house and a more ordinary, much simpler house of a lower ordinary gardener.

You have the beautiful Sky Road out on the coast.

Obviously, Kylemore Abbey, probably the most well-known, most picturesque castle in the entire country.

You can come in and Dan O'Hara's Cottage, beautiful historic spot.

Connemara National Park and their new Connemara Pony exhibit that they have there.

And we've built out essentially a dorm where we stay there and we host research and education programming.

It's called Kylemore Abbey.

And my experiences there have been some of the highlight of my career thus far.

Oh,
