WARNING: Concerns over festival tents during Bank Holiday weekend as strong winds to hit

A wet and windy Bank Holiday Monday is being forecasted and it is looking more and more likely but there is still uncertainty on the weather models with some bringing worse winds than others.

Forecaster Alan O'Reilly said: "Given the timing it is one to watch carefully with festivals and tents and temporary structures etc."

The popular Hoolie in the Hills festival takes place this weekend in Tipperary. 

The festival takes place across Saturday, August 3, and Sunday, August 4, in Kinnane’s Field, Upperchurch.
