Fire damage to a bridge has suspended the Luas service from Connolly Station to The Point for seven days while structural integrity is confirmed. Office workers, tourists and pedestrians must detour around the Dock to reach the area. The Harbourmaster Bar and Restaurant was evacuated and faces phone, internet, gas pressure and toilet pump failures, requiring a reduced menu and hired fryers with bottled gas. Gilna Opticians and other customers of Eir report phone and internet outages, with staff using mobile hotspots while clients remain unable to call or email.
"The phones and internet are down, we can't get gas into the kitchens, and the toilets are blocked," he said. "There were around 40 or 50 people here when the fire happened under the bridge beside us, and they all had to leave, and we could not open yesterday. "Then we managed to get a gas supply to the door but for some reason we have yet to work out, we can't get gas pressure in the kitchens," he explained. "We are working on a reduced and revised menu today after I hired-in some fryers with a bottled gas supply, but I'll have to get a gas technician in. And we still have no phones or internet access which is hitting us hard because the vast majority of our bookings are done by phone or online."
"The damage from the fire is still being assessed and the Luas service from Connolly Station to The Point is suspended for seven days until the structural integrity of the bridge can be confirmed. Office workers, tourists and pedestrians now have to detour around the Dock to gain access to the area. At Gilna Opticians on Custom House Square manager Kathy Ryan said their phone and internet were still down. "When people phone us they hear a message saying we are disconnected. Our internet is down also and I've been using my phone to create a hotspot to try to get around that problem, but clients still cannot phone us and email is a problem," Ms Ryan told the Irish Independent."
