Clean-up to centre on Cobh after 12,000 left stranded

After the great storm, the big clean up. As crews start to work around Co Cork, much of the fallout from Storm Ophelia will centre on the Cobh area.

More than 12,000 people living in Great Island were left stranded for several hours yesterday as a number of trees fell on the Fota Rd.

With the cross-river ferry closed and train services suspended in the afternoon, there was no way in and out.
