Met Eireann has warned of near-gale to gale-force winds, with storm-force and violent storm-force gusts."
""As a result of this forecast, we have advised ferry operators that the port will close from 06:00 to 15:00 on 09 December to ensure the safety of all operations," said Holyhead Port.

Strong winds associated with Storm Bram are expected to reach near-gale to violent storm-force gusts, with the strongest winds near coasts and a risk of coastal flooding where onshore winds coincide with high tides. Persistent heavy rain may cause inland flooding, particularly in southern areas. Holyhead Port was closed to ferry operations from 06:00 to 15:00 and ferries will not run until after 15:00. Terminal 5 at Holyhead remains closed pending structural inspections, with an estimated 45-day timeframe for a full assessment. One Aer Lingus flight from Ireland West Airport Knock to London Heathrow (EI91) was cancelled. Retailers in Galway opened but may reassess as the storm makes landfall. Met Eireann issued a Status Orange Wind warning.
