There's another massive wave down there ("Aileen's" I think it's called that people have been surfing for the last few years).

It was initially hushed up as the surfers don't want it getting too crowded, so I guess the Cliffs of Moher was as good a guess as any.

Was that wave the other day, basically not just a storm? They had big waves in Dun Laoghaire as well.

Never mind your surfing. Ireland has some of the best wave resources in the world for producing electricity. Far more potential then Oil and Gas.

The location might be Achill island high waves are usually there this time of year.
