2. They weren’t worried about bread though

3. Transport this morning was a nightmare

Best text of the morning from a staff member (on the southside):

“Working from home because they’re apparently letting people with Dublin Bus tickets on the Dart.”#Snowmageddon #BeastfromtheEast

Be advised - no brioche in Dublin 6.

9. Let’s just hope it doesn’t get any worse than this
