The port of Holyhead remains closed due to significant damage from Storm Darragh, creating delivery challenges for ferry passengers and parcel shipments to Ireland. Minister of State James Lawless expressed low confidence in reopening by the 19th of December, while An Post is rerouting 150,000 parcels through alternative ports. Hauliers face pressure to deliver freight in time for Christmas as cancellations disrupt transport routes. Stena Line has suspended ferry services between Dublin and Holyhead until late December, urging affected customers to modify their bookings.
