Shannon closed for a while, but is now back open. According to U.TV

http://www.u.tv/News/Major-emergency-declared-in-Kilkenny/dd2f7282-01d8-447d-af8a-012734c735b4

Cork airport is now closed.

I heard that on the Radio Ulster news today at around 4.00pm-not a good day to be flying.

A Facebook friend is huffing and puffing about flight delays and actually wrote, 'come on, it's just a bit of wind.' I took great delight in sending him this picture!
