    “So che gli irlandesi amano parlare del tempo, ma emettere un avviso di bassa temperatura con lo stato Arancione per una temperatura di -5 è una follia”, afferma il TD Peadar Tóibín

      Politician with backwards views, has backwards view on topical issue.

    4. great_whitehope on

      I too would like free publicity by moaning about weather warnings

    5. cinclushibernicus on

      Cheers Peadar, but I think I’ll take advice on the weather from highly educated meteorologists, rather than yourself if that’s alright….

    7. susanboylesvajazzle on

      I really don’t understand this right-wing shit that you always seem to have to have a negative opinion on literally fucking everything all of the time.

      The prime example for me was Farage in the UK spouting off about woke milk options, but this fits in with the same them too.

      Why was it necessary for him to voice an opinion on this? Who cares about it? There’s evidence that more than enough people have ignored the weather warnings but here’s this prick pretty much encouraging more people to ignore it.

      It’s bad out there, don’t travel if you didn’t absolutely need to. That’s the supposedly elusive “common sense” these morons are always on about. Met Eireann have done their jobs informing people of the weather conditions and how long they’re likely to last and he’s mouthing off about it. Fucking tool.

      They are just warnings, or advice. People seem to have developed a fear of being told what to do since covid. Like planks saying they’d ignore the government if a new pandemic happened. It’s bonkers.

      Really enjoying the current Anglosphere political discourse where a large percentage of politicians are now spineless weasels like this lad saying these vague populist statements to appeal to conspiracy theory brain muddled gobshites.

      Very good, Peadar. Really stick it to **checks notes** Met Eireann. Basically the illuminati trying to make us all afraid with their **checks notes again** warnings of ice.

    10. pixelburp on

      I’d criticise Toibin’s recent firehose of opinions over everything … but here’s the proof it’s working. Total scutter yet it’s being shared here for us to gawp at.

    11. TheStoicNihilist on

      The weather warning system was updated recently and is quite clearly defined and easy to understand… if you’re willing to make the effort, Peadar.

    12. [deleted] on

      I know that the Irish people like talking about politics, but astroturfing Peadar Tóibín is crazy

    13. RJMC5696 on

      It’s very easy for him to say, he’s not the one that’s dealing with this shit. I’ve noticed the people that are giving out about people being so concerned are the ones who aren’t severely affected. There are people without electricity and water. I’ve been stuck for days, schools aren’t opened. My children are struggling with this, especially my child who’s autistic and doesn’t understand why routine has been so changed, it’s affected them big time, sleep is gone out the window

    14. whooo_me on

      It has a big impact on driving conditions, so should be highlighted. Strange thing to take issue with.

    15. lamahorses on

      Man, I just hate how anti-intellectualism is ruining society. God forbid that Met Eireann issues advice about cold weather and treacherous conditions.

    16. Thready_C on

      They’re warning and guideline mostly for vulnerable people i usually see them like this

      Yellow: watch yourself, be a bit more alert

      Orange: check in on your vulnerable neighbors make sure they’re ok if you’re in an area that’s getting hit hard

      Red: baton down the hatches

      They’re not something to fear, only idiots are afraid of these things. It’s like getting scared at a fire triangle or something

    18. Jean_Rasczak on

      Peader is jumping on the bandwagon, seen a few people getting some media for bad mouthing RTE and said he will get some of that

      What the dope doesn’t seem to realise is this is abnormal weather for Ireland, we live in Ireland

      If this was another country it might not be abnormal weather

      Would another country take him please?

    19. Rennie_Burn on

      Its a weather warning for extremely cold conditions, again its warning people, not telling people what to do… People can make up their own minds of course, like the fools who take their road trips with the family up the sally gap..

      https://m.independent.ie/regionals/wicklow/news/wicklow-mountain-rescue-team-slam-idiotic-drivers-for-bringing-families-on-impassable-roads/a981856952.html

      “While we’re here to help, and we will help, people need to take some personal responsibility. This weather warning is well advertised and is due to continue for a number of days. Taking your family on impassable roads, during a weather warning, in vehicles not suitable for the conditions is just idiotic. Please take the warnings seriously.”

      Once again these are warnings issued and these types of posts by Peader and all the rest are as idiotic as the people who dont pay attention to them.

    21. Reddynever on

      Nobody cares what you think Peader. especially when you post on Twitter.

    22. zenzenok on

      I know he’s trying to be a cool right-wing edgelord, but it’s actually really irresponsible. If an aul one or aul fella slips on the ice and breaks their hip that could be hugely detrimental to their health and mobility.

    24. thrillhammer123 on

      Experts please fuck off giving us advice. We don’t like being told things. And colours. We don’t like colours, especially orange

    25. AllezLesPrimrose on

      How the fuck did right wingers glomb onto weather warnings as their next thing? Not enough rumours of asylum centres to roil up your base, Pedar?

    26. Connolly_Column on

      This isn’t Siberia or Greenland. Minus 5 is Baltic for a lot of people and completely fucks with their ability to get around.

    27. Rulmeq on

      The warnings are based on facts. The levels are there for everyone to see. If the temperatures are between -5 and -10 it’s orange, simple as that. It doesn’t matter about some failed politican’s feelings. The anti-choice cunt can just ignore them if he doesn’t like them.

    28. Puzzleheaded-Ant3838 on

      Very odd take when his own constituents have been heavily affected by

    29. Massive_Path4030 on

      This fellas ability to get into the news and make himself part of a conversation he has no reason to be involved in is unrivalled.

    31. AbradolfLincler77 on

      Easy for someone who has everything in life taken care of for them to say. Fucking politicians, no fucking idea what it’s like to live in the real world.

    32. daherlihy on

      So orange is crazy on Peader’s scale – he never said though what colour scale would not be crazy. No substance or follow-through to his statement which basically makes it scaremongering for his naive target audience – super stuff, that’s all we want!!

    33. Salaas on

      Honestly didn’t think I’d find another reason to dislike this stain of a man but he has a endless ability to be dislikable.
      He again is talking crap cuz he wasn’t on the radio in the last two weeks.

    34. TheWaxysDargle on

      >People should take care on the roads & mind older friends & family but this is not abnormal winter weather.

      That’s literally why warnings are issued, so people take care, stock up on essentials etc.

      Sustained periods of low temperatures of this level are absolutely abnormal winter weather. The average low for Meath, where Peadar is from, is 2c, it was around -8 in Navan last night and probably will be tonight.

    35. twistingmelonman on

      It’s like right wing conservatives all get the same pamphlet full of stupid statements and made up problems for them to repeat and whine about.

    37. AfroF0x on

      Not only is he an expert on female reproductive systems, he’s also a Meteorologist too? Wow, what a guy!?

    38. FarComfortable9063 on

      Good man Peadar. When we’re trying to bring down increasing road deaths and the most treacherous roads that could be drove on, we are warned about. God forbid we make an effort to reduce accidents where possible

    39. qwerty_1965 on

      I didn’t scroll right to the end of the twitter comments on his post but it was striking how those agreeing with him were of a certain disposition. Pro Israel, Trump, 🤡 emoji, and Rory Cowen

    40. lukker- on

      These fuckin goobers are convinced that the MET are using weather warnings as a new way to control people and enforce lockdowns a la COVID.

    41. SpectorCorp on

      Just trying to understand his issue. Does it cost money or something to send the alert? I don’t get why it would matter to anyone otherwise.

    42. aprilla2crash on

      ![gif](giphy|fqtyYcXoDV0X6ss8Mf)

      Old man yells at weather warning.

      In his day you wouldn’t get a weather unless it was for minus fifteen

    44. Cautious-Hovercraft7 on

      No it’s not, salt stops becoming effective at -7 meaning roads will be hazardous

    45. DramaticIsopod4741 on

      Think I’ll put my trust in the weather services over a populist.
