Fears are growing that some people may be without their Christmas deliveries following the closure of a crucial ferry route from Holyhead in North Wales to Dublin.

Online shoppers are concerned their festive deliveries may not make it here on time to be wrapped and put under the Christmas tree before December 25 as Holyhead Port remains closed after suffering infrastructural damage in Storm Darragh last weekend.
