      Not surprising given the scale of the damage. I don’t know why it seems to be so hush hush about it all though.

      Just had to break this to the family group chat. Not planning on going home myself this year but a few other relatives in England are starting to panic that they might not be able to go home and ~~sponge off~~ visit the rest of the family over Christmas.

      Didn’t they estimate how much a bridge between the ports would cost previously. I wonder how much money they are losing now if they would revisit it.

      For someone working in retail, will this mean less stock coming in?

      Please God…

      This has been a rude reminder of how vulnerable we are to one incident in one location. If I wanted to wreck Ireland’s economy I’d just blow up port infrastructure rather than get technical with hacking stuff.

      Lot of stuff going to be back logged at that port….

      Just hope all the folks wanting to take a ferry home can make it back x

      Currently on an eight hour ferry from Liverpool to Belfast (+the drive to Dublin) instead of the ~3 hour ferry from Holyhead to Dublin. The number of freighters on the ferry was very high, clearly many rerouted from Holyhead.

      Was reading a poece last night, BBC I think, about the knock on effect this is having in Hollyhead……..

      The loss of shipping fees to the port, loss of seasonal work, loss of earning to cafés, hotels and other accommodation providers, scary!

      Have we tried using the portal on Talbot Street? We can put the other one in Holyhead

      Going out on a limb and wondering if Jan 15th is the earliest they can get a full quote and schedule together for the repairs / rebuilding and can then announce an actual date.

      Shitty time of the year to be sending RFQs out.

      Relax everyone. I plan to grow lettuce in my nonexistent balcony plant box to offset the energy deficit of flights .

      All joking aside, emergency situations call for emergency action . Release more air passenger numbers immediately. Balance it out in 2025 passenger wise

      Quick question: I understand the Ulysses caused the damage ( was slammed into the pier by the wind) and I am wondering if anyone knows if there was damage to the ship itself?
