Storm Darragh Update

Storm Darragh has caused major disruption to travel and power services in the county since making landfall last night.

Many roads across the county are impassable this morning.

Council and ESB crews have begun clear up operations.

Galway County Council are advising the public NOT to remove trees by themselves as power lines could be wrapped up in them.

 

The following roads are impassible or severely restricted…
