When do you think Holyhead will re-open?

[LookItsMeAgain]

Following Storm Darragh (he really did quite a number as he passed through), the port of Holyhead is closed as it was significantly damaged.

I'm just wondering when you think the port may reopen?

Do you think it will be this side of Christmas or might it be early 2025?

I never realised just how dependent Ireland is on the traffic that flows from Holyhead to Dublin Port and onwards.

Is this going to be our version of the Suez Canal blockage, where freight is delayed and so on? I can't imagine what people who wanted to travel home or even travel for a break to Ireland must be doing now.

Nightmare.

Once it's safe.

It's going to remain closed until Jan 15th 2025 at the earliest.

Holy moly!

I'd be thinking that it would have had to close at some point anyway if whatever got damaged in the storm and was broken by the storm it was clearly more fragile than expected and would have to have been replaced.
