Ms Evelyn Cusack:

Generally, we warn by county. In the particular incident cited, we have examined the warning. It was justified for Dublin. There was a south-easterly gale for six hours, accompanied by heavy rain. I cannot imagine how anyone could have described it as a good day. To the best of our ability, our warnings are specifically temporal and spatial. That is by county, but even within counties we sometimes refer to eastern parts and so on.
