Holy Moly! Storm Kathleen sees trampoline do summersault in front of Our Lady in Limerick

A yellow wind warning is in place until 8pm on Saturday

MOTORISTS in Limerick were left exclaiming 'Holy Moly' on Saturday morning after a loose trampoline appeared to do a somersault in front of a statue of Our Lady. 

A stray trampoline is not an uncommon sight during a storm in Ireland and this one seemed even more eager to perform than usual.

The trampoline went for a walkabout on the Roxboro Road and performed some impressive acrobatics as it passed the Janesboro Marian Shrine.

In the video, which was widely shared on social media, the trampoline can be seen doing a somersault before landing upright on the road. 

Thankfully, it does not seem to hit any pedestrians or cars as it comes to a rest just in front of the statue.
