Hurricane Ophelia claims 3 lives, moves to it’s last leg

Hurricane Ophelia battered down on Ireland yesterday and left almost 300,000 properties without power and killed almost three people. All this and the possibility of more damage as the Hurricane enters its final hours moving across the north west.

Met Eireann said the storm would not be over until about 1am with strong gusts and winds continuing but the winds will fade away overnight.

Members of the public have been advised to stay inside and not to make unnecessary journeys as the worst storm the country has seen in more than 50 years passes over.

Irish Rail plans to resume most services on Tuesday morning after suspending them on Monday afternoon. Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus plan to run full services from first thing after cancellations nationwide on Monday.

However there will be no Luas service on the Red or Green lines tomorrow morning due to damage at a technical room at the Red Cow depot.
