This shocking picture depicts precisely what emergency personnel had warned the public not to do.
All it takes is one strong gust of wind, one big wave, or one slip for disaster to happen.
People looking for that “perfect picture” for their Facebook need to realise that they’re not just putting their own lives in danger, they’re endangering the brave heroes who’d have to venture out into the elements to try and save their lives.
This picture was taken yesterday in Howth, Co. Dublin as Storm Diana raged through the country and shows a woman in the foreground holding a young infant watching mother nature in all her glory.
Meanwhile, a person even further out can be seen even closer to the waves holding their phone trying to capture a good photo.
