If you are lucky enough to be Irish, then you are lucky enough.
And beacuse I know you are all curious - teh wind in Cork Harbour is currently 2.7kts SE, and it is 7.2 degrees. Forecast for the day is "Partly cloudy with little temperature change", but at least it is not raining.

PS - mark my words - Ireland to assume their rightful position as the worlds greatest Rugby nation when they mash Wales this weekend.
