Ms Evelyn Cusack:

We relay those warnings and advise through the national emergency and co-ordination group, of which Met Éireann is a major part. The Deputy mentioned confusion about warnings and clickbait. Spurious warnings have been issued before but, unfortunately, Met Éireann has no control over those. We are very worried about that and we study them. I have personally contacted various agencies issuing these warnings without any meteorological background. We are very concerned about that.
