Testing times for many but we've been able to keep festival team on the move

Call it the Beast from the East or Storm Emma or a combination of both, but the weather has certainly been the big news story in Ireland this week.

Some of the predictions before the snow and high winds arrived made me think the end of normal life as we know it was fast approaching.

Although many parts of the country were seriously hit, we weren't too badly affected and I have to say we've had to cope with worse conditions in the past.
