And although this is in place, we have been told that the height of the blizzard has now "passed" through Ireland, the advice to stay indoors has been withdrawn and we are to start seeing improvements from this evening onwards. However, last night, in the height of the blizzard, Dublin Airport shared some eerie footage of just how bad the snow storm was throughout the grounds of the airport. Scary stuff.

So this is what a ‘Red Alert for heavy snowfall’ actually looks like @DublinAirport. We’ll have further updates in the morning. Stay safe. #StormEmma #BeastFromTheEast #Snow pic.twitter.com/ENajr7xaFX

They also then shared this video of the teams working hard last night in an effort to clear the runways and taxi lanes to get the airport back up and running.
