N. Ireland for some reason has decided to close schools tomorrow as well. Seems like a bit of an over reaction.

They literally have no parliament, Government or decision making capacity right now. Both days of closures in NI were clear copy and paste efforts within an hour of the rest of Ireland announcing same. Not a great way to make decisions !

On the bright side I guess they did make a decision.

Unfortunately this early stage venture was practically assured of founder conflict :P

Hmmm... why wouldn't it be a good way to make decisions, assuming that the Republic of Ireland's weather people are competent, and their own people were unavailable (for whatever reason)?

Some things are independent of politics, and tomorrow's weather is pretty high on that list. :-)
