Galway News - Incredible images of Storm Ali damage in Galway

The Galway City local coordination group met this morning to review the local impacts of Storm Isha.

The group, which includes the council, HSE, the Gardaí, Civil Defence, Port of Galway, and the Fire Services, issued an update after the storm caused significant disruption on Sunday night.

Galway City Council said that while there was some overtopping at the prom in Salthill, there were no reports of flooding overnight, and no major flooding yesterday.

Crews were out at 5am on Monday clearing debris, after tees came down in many locations including Seamus Quirke Road, Rockbarton Road, Bothar na dTreabh, and Gentian Hill.

All roads have now reopened. Rockbarton Road remained closed when the update was issued where City Council crews worked alongside the ESB.

Car parks at Toft Park, Salthill, Sliverstrand, and Ballyloughane are now open and a lamppost which came down at the Salmon Weir bridge has now been made safe.

There were some power outages in Salthill and Henry Street, which the ESB are addressing.

Another wind warning, this time status orange, has been issued for Galway ahead of Storm Jocelyn on Tuesday night.
