I just had to share this!
Fire warning issued for rural areas.
at Saturday 4th April 2015 - 07.59 AM
A warning has been issued by the Fire Service and Bord na Mona on the risk of fires in the countryside this weekend.
The organisations said the chance of fire is much greater at Bank Holiday weekends as there are more people enjoying outdoor activities.
Bord na Mona is urging people not to light fires outdoors and to dispose of cigarettes in a safe way.

It is not as if we have had a hot dry winter followed by a rainless Spring. Yesterday I noticed ponding on the sides of the roads as water from the fields was spilling out on to the highways.
The bogs too must be inundated, peat is known for water retention and therefore I can only assume that the moron who issued the publication of this notice has yet to go out and walk in the countryside.
