With the Orange and Yellow weather warnings coming into force at 12:00 today. 🌧️
We will excuse our Civic Dollars community in Ireland for not visiting all our beautiful parks, greenways and beaches today.
That means, as soon as the rain eases, get your coat on and spend twice as much time outdoors! ☂️
