Met Eireann's female forecasters are too 'glamour orientated' and "you'd hardly know it's cold by the way they dress"

That's just one of the 78 complaints made about met office this year which have been released under the Freedom of Information Act.

There are also allegations of a Dublin bias in the weather bulletins, with a complainant claiming Dubs should have to "pay for their own rubbish forecast themselves".

Many complaints were about Met Éireann getting the forecast wrong with one man saying it ruined his holiday, while a fisherman claimed inaccurate forecasts at sea were putting his crew at risk.
