Blackrock Diving Tower in Galway’s Salthill has been closed due to damage wrought by Storm Debi.
Galway City Council says it will remain closed “until damage is assessed and repairs are complete”.
Galway city and county sustained both flooding, power cuts and structural damage in the storm, with boats being thrown up on a pier at the Claddagh in the city.
The Pier Head Bar in Kinvara, well known to sailors, was forced to close, while a number of businesses in Clarenbridge and in Oranmore on the south side of the bay were also severely damaged.
The city’s Local Coordination Group (Galway City Council, HSE, An Garda Síochána and the Fire Services)confirmed on Monday evening that all roads in the city are now open, with the exception of Silver Strand, which will open on Tuesday.
“Many thanks to the public for their cooperation and to our crews for their work on the ground today. Thanks to all from the HSE, An Garda Síochána, Uisce Éireann, the Civil Defence, the Harbour Master, and the Fire Service,” the city council said in a statement.
