Well that’s awkward… RTÉ weather woman misplaces Galway on the map

Niamh Maher

We’re not throwing shade… it’s very warm we’re all a bit fuzzy headed today.

The last few days have been an absolute DREAM weatherwise, which of course makes everyone happy and a lot more inclined to flick on the oul telly box and check the weather.

We all want to know how long the dream will last (not much longer… don’t check… ignorance is bliss).

Well, an eagle-eyed viewer wasn’t letting the sunshine get to his head last night, as he spotted a pretty glaring error in RTÉ’s weather report.

Meteorologist Joanna Donnelly did seem a tad confused about the whereabouts of Galway.

To be fair, everyone makes mistakes, and just last week in the Her offices we had a serious discussion about whether parts of Galway could be counted as the midlands.

So we can’t talk.
