Irish passengers who had planned to travel home via the storm-damaged Holyhead ferry port this Christmas are having to make “costly” new arrangements due to its closure.

Damage to the busy ferry port in Anglesey, North Wales, during Storm Darragh earlier this month is feared to be worse than originally thought, resulting in its closure until January 15 at the earliest.
