0:00This has been Europe news today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Storm Dave rolled to Ireland, bringing localized flooding and heavy rain to spots in County, Donnagall, like Antigar and Gostopair. Warnings lifted overnight as the storm moved northeast, but were still dealing with leftovers like possible flight cancellations at Dublin Airport. Today, earlier this week, Met Ariane put out an advisory for mixed weather through the Easter weekend, running until 11.30pm on Tuesday. They flagged the fast-moving Atlantic flow that could whip up damaging gusts from the west or southwest, plus high waves hitting coastal spots. Yesterday hit hard with around 18,000 homes, farms and businesses losing power nationwide. ESB networks got crews out quick where was safe, reminding folks to steer clear of down wires. At Dublin Airport, 17 cancellations, 13 diversions, and 53 go-arounds messed up operations. In Donnagall, county councilteens are working to reopen the R-230-0 road near Gleene-Kohm
