Terrifying ship's video shows storm-force seas off Irish coast

This is properly scary - shot from the bridge of a ship off the south of Ireland in the teeth of Storm Brigid, with waves as high as the GPO.

The series of Atlantic storms that have battered the country since last month seem at this stage to have rolled into one another, but if you'll cast your mind back to February 1 you'll recall that Storm Brigid was one of the weather events that wrought havoc on the south and west coasts.

We reported at the time how Brigid caused extensive flooding in Limerick, Clare and Galway and cut power to thousands of people countrywide.
