West set for best of Easter weather

It looks like those heading west for the Easter holiday break will probably get the best of the weather.

Met Éireann forecaster Joanna Donnelly said the pleasant weather seen during the week was likely to continue over the weekend. However, there would be a break in the weather later on Sunday and into Monday, with rain coming from the east.

"The west and north-west usually get the rain, whereas this weekend they will be getting the better weather because of the easterly flow," said Ms Donnelly.
