Storm Bram to cause disruptions for ferries in Waterford
The last ferry is due to set out at 8pm on Monday and passengers should expect the morning departure to be pushed back to 10am at least.
The Passage East ferry has announced a provisional start time on Tuesday of 10am.
The delay is due to the flood defence barriers erected by Waterford City and County Council on Monday night as Storm Bram is due to hit the coast.
The final ferry on Monday will sail at 8pm.
In a post on social media, the Pasage East Ferry Company said that times may change in accordance with the weather conditions.
And they will update passengers in the morning.
