'Safety first' as wedding guests stranded on island after Storm Boelo

Flights were cancelled at airports across the island of Ireland at the weekend including about 40 at Belfast International Airport and about 30 at Dublin Airport.

On Sunday, the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) said about 470 storm-related incidents had been reported, including fallen trees and flooding.

A spokesperson for Northern Ireland's public transport provider Translink said that some bus services were diverted over the weekend due to fallen debris and rail restrictions were put in place in affected areas.

The Foyle Bridge in Londonderry was closed on Saturday due to high winds but reopened again on Sunday evening.

SDLP assembly member Mark H Durkan said he understood the need to close the bridge during the storm but added that its prolonged closure caused major traffic congestion in the city.
